Im totally not going to do all the research required for this one.
But i was just thinking, you know connecting the dots. . .
... maybe the documentary on Columbia i just watched helped.
But... let me get this straight, Columbia is the number one producer of cocaine and the US is the number one user and number one supporter of the government there.
Afghanistan is the number one producer of Opium, supplying 90% of the heroin we consume. We took that country over, for what again? Oh ya bad guys are there, and we cant find them all... so i guess we will stay awhile and get high.
Mexico is the number one international supplier of Pot to the USA... and thanks to NAFTA it comes across the border much smother... along with all that cheap labor.
Burma and Iran are currently are drug nemesis, as they produce and supply much of Asia with their kicks. (I totally support the peaceful liberation of the Burmese people, as well as leaving the Iranian people alone.)
Mexico? With all the empty top quality land in Canada, our friends to the North can't produce more pot?
And seriously, I've been thinking that with the US non-action in Darfur and Burma, clearly we don't care about humanitarian issues, and particularly the non-action in Burma should make it obvious to anyone that the US is not concerned with helping people establish democracies. How do you envision a peaceful liberation when the government is willing to beat, abduct, imprison, and kill people sitting and praying.
