Did anyone actually watch the commercials? The method was ingenious, they connected drug money as spent by users with the funding of terrorism and violent crime (we've been waiting for the two "wars" to combine and now its official). There is more than a little truth in that linking especially in South America and the Balkans. Unfortunately, this bumps into another reallity when we realize that our totalitarian taliban enemies wiped out opium production in Afghanistan (maybe Ashcroft can do the same for us). {sarcasm}. Someone should do a parody commercial with a bunch of Congressman, cops, and soldiers talking about the drug war having driven all this stuff into the underground economy creating a situation where we need to set aside our principles so we can continue to militarize what could be a peaceful if distasteful exchange.
