America spends tens of billions of dollars each year on a "war on drugs", even as the Obama Administration endorses Afghanistan’s continued production of 90% of the world's opium. Despite the perpetual “war on drugs”, you can find a ready supply of heroin and other drugs in any town, city, school or prison in America.

We borrow billions of dollars from China to fight a war in Afghanistan.

We spend lives and money trying to establish democracy in a place where tribal warlords oppose it and the absence of a middle class cannot sustain it.

By bringing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of 9/11, to New York City for a criminal trial in the U.S. Court system, this President has once again demonstrated his disregard for the rights, interests, safety and history of the American people.

A non-military trial may just provide a legal loophole the size of New York Harbor for the Muslim fanatic who was responsible for the worst terrorist incident in history. Mohammed’s lawyers will likely claim a violation of due process because he was denied a “speedy trial” as required by the Constitution. That presents the very real possibility that this murderous war criminal could go free – in New York City!
