LEGALLZE.DRUGS; AFGHAN WAR WILL END
The New York TImes editorial ( "Afghan opium trade can be reined in,
but only with years of relentless work," Aug. 6 ) which The Enquirer
chose to repeat, does little but illustrate the mind set that helped
George Bush get the U.S. into an unnecessary war. Talk about the
"mother" of unnecessary wars! That would be the worldwide war on
drugs. If all drugs were to be legalized everywhere tomorrow, the war
on Afghanistan would evaporate like the summer dew.
