The government in all their brilliance want to designate drug cartels as "terrorists". So, they can bring the war here. Picture it, F-16's firing hellfire missiles, cluster bombs, white phosphorus, and depleted uranium munitions, at our southern neighbor.  That's how sick in the head our leaders are. If we label criminals terrorists, we can use the military to destroy their cities, homes, and families. Collateral damage can be expected, and large areas of uninhabitable land will result from radiation, but hey, that's part of war. Another governmental delusion. Depleted uranium munitions is illegal, it's an environmental hazard, irradiates land for billions of years, and doesn't stay in one place. Our government has rendered thousands of square miles of Iraq, and once inhabited cities, uninhabitable. They won't show the birth defects we've caused over there in American media. It's beyond shameful. Not to mention our own troops getting radiation sickness, and producing deformed offspring. The bravery of our troops for fighting in an illegal war, is rewarded with denial of treatment for war related illness, cuts in benefits, birth defects, experimental drugs, and orders not to diagnose PTSD because of costs.

Now, I think we can see what's coming , any criminal activity will be designated as "terrorist" activity. We'll be watching black-hawk helicopters with .50 cal. machine guns, and firing stinger missiles, chasing a lone car down the Santa Monica freeway on the "breaking news" reports, instead of the normal police pursuits. Instead of SWAT raids, they'll just blow up the whole block.

 Instead of using common sense and ending the worlds biggest failure, the war on drugs, which is another undeclared war by congress. Our government wants to escalate the death, destruction, and needless violence, their failed policy has been inflicting on the world for thirty years. The war on drugs has caused far more harm and deaths than it could have ever possibly prevented. Drug addiction is a medical condition, not a military action.
