QUESTION: WHICH SHOULD BE GIVEN MORE WEIGHT IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT -- DRUGS OR TERRORISM?

With respect to your editorial, "Feds Should Keep Spending Money To
Fight Drug Problem," what should be done if anti-drug programs
actually increase the abuse of stronger, easier-to-conceal contraband
by ever-younger users?

No one reasonably suggests incarceration, asset forfeiture or armed
home invasions would protect or deter cigarette smokers, so why should
Americans stand for a war waged against us?

Face it, drug war is crime.
