Whatever gets you through the day. BTW, I wonder what the War on Terrorism will mean for the War on Drugs? Perhaps the case can be made that they're synergistic and that creating a siege mentality will just make it that much easier to clamp down on all deviant behavior. But to my way of thinking, the narcs may have a big fight on their hands competing for funding with the current call for a laser-like national focus on terrorism.
