TERRORISTS VS. YOUTHS

The supporters of terrorism in America are likely to strike this summer. 
One of our vulnerable underbellies is the youth population who casually use 
illicit drugs. These drugs, which leave no paper trail of accountability, 
regardless of their appearance, might be laced with poisons that can 
handicap the users for life.

Even those which appear to be prescription drugs might be deadly 
imitations, for which no one is accountable if not obtained from a pharmacist.

Our young people need to know that we are still under attack; that they are 
considered easy and precious targets; and that the people who prosper by 
the drug trade are supported by the same Americans who supported the 9-11 
terrorist attacks. This assault on our sovereignty is nearly 40 years old 
in earnest. These people hold nothing sacred, and they will do anything to 
get control of this richest, strongest, most powerful nation on earth.

It's time for our young people to close ranks and join in the defense. On 
9-11, the terrorists showed us their competence and their ruthlessness. 
They have yet to show us their determination, following the Afghan defeat, 
and that they are everywhere. These are standard objectives of a terrorist 
movement, and this is likely to be a dangerous summer all over America.
