You could go over and interview personally some of the insiders at the Inter-Services Intelligence agency , to gain more specific information on your drug theories...they would know how to educate you , or instead of Pakistan take a trip to southeast asia<G> Prohibition is what makes it into the business it is ... Also interview the millions of new heroin & opium users now in Pakistan that have arisen and including Iran...your logic is so "fleeced" and derived from so little thought out of touch with the facts , so uninspiringly stupid mundane and alarmist, it's uncanny . Has your entire life been like this ?

I would expect any country to enforce their laws and international agreements regarding drugs. I supported this war for the following reasons witch I posted over and over again. I am being 100% honest unlike you. 1. To drain the swamp of countries that are supporting terrorists that have a stated purpose of attacking the US and its allies. 2. To help to Iraqi's gain freedom and safety from a murderous dictator. 3. To create a climate of security for Israel so they would not be inclined to pre-emptively attack Iraq. In other words to keep Israel from using wmd on Iraq. 4. To create a climate with republics with democratic freedoms in the Islamic world to balance the anti-US, anti-Israel countries. 5. To create a climate so that a viable Palestinian state can be created. If I were 100% pro-Israel and not pro-US, I would say it would be in best interests of Israel to pre-emptively remove the Palestinians from their current cities, Hebron, Nablus, Jericho, Gaza, Bethlehem, etc. And if I were an Israeli I would have been tempted just to use an A-bomb on Baghdad. However I am an American and want the US to have security, I want Israel to have security, I want the Palestinians to have a viable homeland including East Jerusalem, and I want the Iraqis to be free of the abuse they took from Saddam.
