Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? The eight to ten men in black, seen running off the beach in La Jolla the other night might have some idea. They left a small boat behind as they ran,and that's not the first small boat to be found after dawn on that beach recently; there have been several.
Haven't seen that picked up nationally even though there was a front page picture in the paper here. Why? Isn't that threatening in today's world? Am I paranoid in seeing that opium in Afghanistan and drug runners in Mexico have common interests? Will not a linkage like that assist the Taliban and Al Qaeda and finance the narco-terror state we fear in Afghanistan? The process has begun already. We cannot let it continue and grow.
Several years ago I sat next to a retired air force general on a plane. He commented that most nation-states then could not deal with the onslaught of the drug cartels because the amount of money they could spend to fight the cartels was dwarfed by the multiple millions the cartels could muster to defeat them.. Other than the United States, he said, the only entities rich enough to oppose the drug mafias are some international corporations. Now we have the European Union, there are empty boats on the beaches in Europe as well. Have you heard from them?
It's a question of acorns and oak trees. The West never seems to harvest the acorns, and then the oak trees fall on us.
Again I say, let's look at buying the opium, burning some and possibly, along the suggested Canadian line; building a factory to process the rest for medical use. Whatever we do, we must do something...soon.
