Classic Propaganda of Tomorrow!
Oh, it seems absurd today, but in twenty years, this will be as delightful as a screaming hot dog.
Shill #1: Drugs don't support terrorism.
Shill #2: Yes, they do.
Shill #1: What's your evidence to support that?
Shill #2: It's true because I say so.
End of argument. Brilliant. I want to give it five stars for being such a perfect example of post 9-11 propaganda, but I just can't make myself do it.

Cheap Piece of Propaganda
Drugs don't finance terror. The objectively criminal drug prohibition finances terror.
If drugs would be legalized, not only could no longer a cent be earned by criminals, drug lords, and terrorists, but the tax revenues from legal drug sales could finance the state, the health system, and education about drugs.
Additional savings from ending the futile War on Drugs are estimated to be another $30 to $40 billion annually. Our prisons would not be full with non-violent drug law offenders either which account already for more than 50% of the prison population; our police would have time to go after real criminals; and our courts wouldn't be overloaded.
The drug prohibition creates an additional 10,000+ murders every year; and we are not even talking yet about the other prohibition-related crime.
But hey, Aspirine (7,000+ deaths/year) and Caffeine (5,000+ deaths/year) kill more people annually than all illegal drugs combined: Heroin (2,000+ deaths/year), Cocaine (2,500+ deaths/year), Ecstacy (5+ deaths/year), Marijhuana (0+ deaths/year), so it's important that the War on Drugs is kept up at any price. Otherwise criminals would be out of business. And the prohibition is patently working, because one only can buy drugs at every second street corner instead of in every pharmacy. By the way, obesity kills 400,000+ Americans/year, and so does tobacco. Alcohol kills 110,000+, and second-hand smoke still 50,000+. So let's outlaw them, or food, or stairs, because 2,500+ Americans still choke to death on food every year, and an equal number dies when falling down stairs.
Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.

Drugs support terrorism
Do they? well, the TV says so, it must be true.
Part of the post 9-11 power grab by government forces to capitalize on one of our nations most tragic days. Here we see the old familiar tactic, equate drugs with the latest enemy of America. In the 50's and 60's it was Communism, in the 40's and early 50's it was Negroes and Mexicans but it is all the same. Tap into the public's fear and you don't have to worry about those pesky questions. What is the biggest financier of terrorism? How about oil revenues? Only sheep would be convinced by this insulting piece of thinly veiled propoganda
