SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Regarding the April 12 Associated Press article "Colombian president asks 
for help to counter drugs": Doesn't it seem a bit ironic that the U.S. 
government is planning to send $1.6 billion to Colombia to combat drugs 
while other Americans are sending billions more to buy those drugs?
