MAJORITY OF DRUGS ARE NOT LINKED TO TERRORISM

As part of President Bush's war on drugs, he has stated that "using
drugs aids terrorists" (" 'Get help' is focus of new Bush drug
policy, Feb. 13).

While using heroin could possibly aid terrorists, seeing as much of
the heroin is grown in the Middle East, I fail to see how using most
other drugs (cocaine, methamphetamine, LSD, Ecstasy, marijuana, etc.)
can be said to "aid terrorists."

It is unfortunate that Bush would try to use the war on terrorism in
this manner.

As for people giving up drug use in order to help fight the war on
terrorism, remember that a lot of tobacco is grown in the Middle
East. If Bush were to ask people to stop smoking cigarettes in order
to help fight the war on terrorism, how far do you think he would get?
