DRUG RINGS ARE LINKED TO TERRORISTS
I'm writing about: "Drug rings are linked to terrorists" (9-7-02). Drugs
and terrorists are linked for one reason: drug prohibition.
Without prohibition, the easy-to-produce drugs would have very little
value. Thus of no interest to either organized criminals nor international
terrorists.
When alcohol prohibition ended in 1933, organized criminals got out of the
alcohol business overnight.
When alcohol prohibition ended in 1933, the U. S. murder rate declined for
ten consecutive years. Have we learned any lessons?
Not yet.
