I'd go so far to say what's EVEN scarier is the mind-numbing sewage that's contained in that statement...
Since it's only your 3rd post, I'll cut you some slack. Check out the concept of the Electoral college and how Presidential elections are decided in the US. Knowledge is power, so get some or shut up.
In any case...

There are tons of distinctions, from cultural to the chemical, from effect and damage. Pick one.
Originally posted by Silver Ghost: Plus the fact that the 'war on drugs' is becoming too expensive - a big waste of resources. Imagine where the U.S. would be on the war on terrorism if we had spent all the anti-drug resources over the last 20 years on that real threat versus the imagined drug threat?
No, a waste of resource is the money spent on illicit drugs by American citizens. Also, do you care to guess what cash crop in Afghanistan and Pakisan funded a LOT of Al-Qaeda activities (and the Mujahdeen effort against the Russians before that)?
The poppy trade, which herion comes from. So much for your crack-pot thesis that the war on drugs is imaginary, as the drug trade and terrorism have been bed-fellows to an extent.
Columbia is also the model of civility and peace, being that it's the terrorism and kidnap capital of South America. Why? With the cartels in a struggle against the government (and the cocoa farmers and FARC rebels merely puppets in this entire game), the whole country is a DANGEROUS place to live.

Wake up.
