Legalizing Illicit Drugs

A heroin smuggler in Saudi Arabia, upon being convicted in an Islamic court of law, was beheaded for his crime. (Part A, Dec. 16).

While this kind of judgment and execution might seem severe by Western standards, I feel that if we are to win the “war on drugs” we may be better off with equally stiff punishment.

If we are to fight this war, then by God let’s fight it. Pass the death penalty for drug dealers, and then make it happen soon. You are guilty, you give up your right to live. Simple and effective.
