And the damage it's doing to the nations kids and adults?
They make their money from the sale of these drugs, you know.
They are directly pissing on the nation they are hoping to "save'.

No, they are banditos, they are rogues above the law.
Then they make the laws and enforce them.
And they benefit by developing and selling more weapons and electronic surveillance devices and sending more people to jail for selling the drugs FOR them.
Then they can have a "war on drugs" and build new prisons.
Money to be made on both ends.

Not to mention the world leaders in these middle eastern countries that we are "doing business with" are often the terrorists du jour, and they all have bad attitutes and nuclear weapons. Sorry, but I don't agree with you. Sleep soundly tonight.

I have more to add but am pressed for time. Back later.
