DRUG PROHIBITION AIDS THE TERRORISTS

The Sept. 2 Sun reported that "an illegal drug operation in the United 
States was funneling proceeds to Middle East terrorist groups" ("Drug ring, 
terror linked").

You can rest assured that politicians will now call for increased 
enforcement of the drug laws. Will they fool people yet again? It isn't 
rocket science to figure out that the drug laws, not the drugs, are the 
problem.

Funds from the liquor business do not finance terrorist groups. That is 
because liquor is legal.

No one loves the drug laws more than drug dealers.
