We may be evolving from the original topic. However, as has been pointed out, the Islamofascists themselves state they are on a worldwide jihad. I belive that puts the US square in their sights. I also believe that equating the drug war, in all of its counterproductive foolishness, with terrorism and linking it to Chrisitanity devalues and dilutes the real definition of terrorism which is the deliberate targeting of civilians for the purpose of causing terror. While we agree that the drug war is wrong, I, in no way, support the position that agents of this campaign are seeking to target civilians for the purpose of causing terror. I've worked with the DEA in the past and I've discussed the logic of the drug war with agents. They believe they are fighting crime and doing good work. Because they are wrong does not make them terrorists. I also believe it is unfair to paint the entire law enforcement community with the brush of corruption. There are many corrupt 'drug warriors,' but they are a minority. That attitude is similar to bashing all Muslims because of the minority of terrorists, which is somehting else I do not support.
