Our troops in Afghanistan are attacked, daily, with bullets, bombs and weapons too often bought with American Dollars. Every dollar our Citizens spend on Heroin and Opium sold by Osama ben Laden goes to destroy the mind of an American, here and now, and, later, the money is used to pay for bullets that kill our soldiers. We must stop supporting the enemy that is killing our soldiers!
Drug dealers supplied by ben Laden ought to be tried as "Enemy Combatants" and after a trial, shot.
Of course, I do not expect addicts, pushers and those that firmly and sincerely believe that the freedom to use Drugs can be based on the Constitution like, we were all created equal, users and pushers included. Remember, it ia a big net of powerful groups that even governments consider in their legal planning. The fact that ALL our War on Drugs have failed may, or not, prove that their use of force is as weak as their use of Education. Should we disarm the police and stop Education? Of course NOT!

We should support our troups by getting them out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The only reason to be in favor of sending money to ben Laden, the leader that financed the 9/11 WTC attach, is that some think our freedom to buy drugs is more important than the use the dealer makes of the money you give him (I never heard of a woman that was also a drug dealer, maybe you have and gave her name to the police, like you should have.)
The other reason is demeaning and embarrasing to me and you. Could it be that there are people that are unable to accept Causality and Responsibility?
That we are not only responsible for what we do but for all the consequences of what we do?
To say "I did not personally give a penny to ben Laden, I bought it at the corner from where I live", is an indication that some perceptions are affected by some drugs, but you knew that!
At least, I hope you once did.
The troops were sent to Afghanistan based totally on lies and false intelligence. bin Laden had nothing at all to do with the demolition of 9-11, that was a US government assisted covert operation. Still today there is no real evidence of alQaeda involvement in the destruction, except that created by elements of the US government. A real investigation of 9-11 will confirm what independant scientists and former intelligence officials have been saying for the years since 9-11.
I have a vague recollection of a recording by one claiming to be ben Laden and glorifying the 9/11 events. No one else has claimed to be the mastermind of the attack.
Would you expect someone capable of sending so many to die, keep quiet about their deeds?
I am no expert but many, even in prisons, seem unable to hide their misdeeds and brag about it, or confess. Are they all lies by informants? Perhaps, in some cases but the need to tell the world something may even be a reason most people brag, preachers preach and sinners confess. I dunno but I like to write, I must confess.
Osama bin Laden is dead and opium is the only cash crop in the country. We need to PURCHASE the raw opium and make into medically usable forms.
"Our troops in Afghanistan are attacked, daily, with bullets, bombs..." It's called "war." It wasn't the people of Afganistan's idea. If you don't like it, get the hell out of there.
PS: Osama ben Laden has probably been dead for five years.
Are the people in Afghanistan innocent of the charge of not fighting ben Laden?
How about us, we fell for all those WMDs and the Uranium "from Africa" he said, in such a credible way.
Are the peasants in Afghanistan guilty of not fighting and we in the USA are innocent of electing him TWICE, in our Democracy? Give me a break!.
We must thank the Republican Party for passing the Amendment to prohibit a third term for another FDR.
Are you serious?
Ronald Reagan and the CIA funded, armed, and trained Al-Queda and the Taliban for years to fight the Soviet Union, just like they armed Saddam Hussein to fight the Ayatollah, who Reagan and the rightwing's other "hero" Ollie North sold arms to to illegally fund the terrorist "freedom fighters" in Nicaragua.
That's right! Ronald Reagan created "Jihad!"
And you want to shoot some poor junkie for it.
Gimme a break!!
There is no nationality of "people" of any country that want war. We invaded Afghanistan and killed very many of them without just cause. They have every right to defend themselves against any wrongly invading force. We are in the wrong. The war must be put to a stop. If we want to deal with other countries we must learn to use diplomacy instead of simply making war! Our corporations make bundles of money selling war materials and supporting our troops. Our own government backs the Corporate Greed. The Bush family has always been providers for war, beginning back in WWII, when grand father Prescott Bush, worked both sides of the war.
I want to support our troops by bringing each and everyone of them home where they belong. Afghanistan and Iraq were both illegal wars started by a false flag operation of our own governments design. Bush Jr. wanted to be a wartime president, and so it was.
bin Laden never claimed credit for 9-11, and in fact named the US Government as doing it themselves. The Video confessions released by the CIA have been proven over and again to be faked, just as the so called terrorist attacks of 9-11. US news media routinely neglect to tell any of the full stories of illegal government criminal activity. For those that have internet access should not use US corporate media thinking that it is reliable new sourse. They screen the news and report only what they think we should know.
Everyone is self-medicating. Some just manage to find a legal way.
The crap the medical community is pushing (most recent example: Celexa) is more harmful than any of the traditional street drugs, including heroin. The only real problems with the illegal stuff have to do with quality control and funding, and even that's only because it's illegal.
The only difference between the FDA and a cartel is that the FDA is bigger, stronger, smarter, better organized and more brutal. The punk on the corner can't compete.
What's your treatment of choice? Trash TV? That'll anesthetize your brain and your conscience more effectively than any drug.
I'll give up my tobacco when they offer something healthier, more effective and less dangerous.
If you want to support our troops, stop supporting the people who sent them there and are continuing to cause trouble. Better yet, throw them all in jail:
New Yorkers are collecting signatures for a referendum on the November 2009 ballot to reopen the 911 investigation. As of June 4, they have 44,246 signatures. If an excess of 45,000 signatures is collected, the referendum will automatically be placed on the ballot, overruling City Council’s vote. The deadline is July 3rd. http://www.nyccan.org/index.php
