Why should Venezuela, Iran etc worry about what the biggest terrorist state and drug dealerin the world says?
ReplyDeleteI think that that question has already been answered. The U.S. has been in the drug dealing business since the end of World War II, and will not allow anyone else from competing with it. That is why Manuel Noriega of Panama was removed and incarcerated under very strict conditions of having no visitors at all. Because he might just open a can of worms, which the U.S. does not want.
