The Libertarian Party believes that you own your body, and the fruits of your labor. The activists of the Libertarian Party have always been at the forefront of true legalization and/or decriminalization This is why the Libertarian party will never stand a chance in the USA. The issues that were stated, in the article you posted, are irrelevent. The fact is, drug money, supports covert, secret government activity. There is no government approval for funds, no paper, no leaks. This may sound like Sci-Fi, but who started the drug trade? The USA. Who is going to protect it? The USA. Go back to Milosevic in Serbia. The KLA was labeled as thugs and drug runners, by U.S. News and World Report, long BEFORE the USA and NATO attacked Serbia. Milosevic was attacking the forces of the KLA. Who did the USA attack and who did they defend? The USA attacked Milosevic and defended the KLA. Now, before any "human rights" issues are brought up, remember, there are many such issues around the world. When you strip out the common issues, you are left with drug runners.
Afghanistan was supplying a very large chuck of the drug trade into Europe and the USA. The Taliban government had started to cut back and even burn opium fields. The USA has 9/11 and we attack Afghanistan and take out the Taliban. Coincidence?
To get to the bottom of the truth, about why the USA does something, or why any government does something, you have to have the facts, then strip out the common, to get the truth. And a lot of time, these facts are bits and pieces, that are put together, over time, to reveal the real picture. |
