COCAINE INDIRECTLY KILLED CPL ARNAL

Re: He Died For A Good Cause, editorial, July 22.

Part of the reason Canadian soldiers are dying in Afghanistan is the
support the Taliban derives from opium production that, in turn,
supplies Canada's illegal cocaine trade. Thus, I have no fealty for
cocaine users and traffickers when I connect the death of Corporal
James Arnal to their chosen lifestyle. Cpl. Arnal gave his life as
part of a solution. What, pray tell, are cokeheads doing?
