My Question: Will Mr. Bush really smoke out all the terrorist in this new war against terrorism?

"There are few clear areas in which we as a society must rise up united and express our intolerance. The most obvious now is drugs. And when that first cocaine was smuggled in on a ship, it may as well have been a deadly bacteria, so much has it hurt the body, the soul of our country. And there is much to be done and to be said, but take my word for it: This scourge will stop." - President Bush in his 1989 Inaugural Address

It is not patriotic Mr. Bush to sell a product that is as addicting as Heroin and leads to painful early death.

"Every nation now must oppose this enemy, or be, in turn, its target," he said. "Those who hate all civilization and culture and progress, those who embrace death to cause the death of the innocent, cannot be ignored, cannot be appeased. They must be fought," said Bush -20 October 2001

does resentment = hate

does embrace death = cause death

According to the executive order by President Bush. "the term "terrorism" means an activity that — (i) involves a violent act [1] or an act dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; and (ii) appears to be intended —(A) to intimidate or [2] coerce a civilian population;(B) [3] to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (C) [4] to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, massassination, kidnapping, or hostage-taking. "

[1] By 2025, the number of people worldwide who die each year from tobacco-related disease will rise from the current 3.5 million to 10 million, according to the WHO. At the same time, death and disability due to tobacco use will increase from 3 percent to 9 percent of the global total. A majority of these deaths will occur in the Third World and Eastern Europe. Given these projections, more than 100 million people will die from tobacco-related illness over the next 30 years, exceeding the toll from AIDS, tuberculosis, automobile accidents, maternal mortality, homicide and suicide combined.

[3] IN TRYING TO SELL the U. S. Senate on the tobacco industry's sweetheart settlement with some states, Steven Goldstone, chairman and chief executive officer of RJR Nabisco (the guys who gave America's children Joe Camel), testified that selling cigarettes "is a business unlike any other business." Mr. Goldstone delivered his comment as part of a patronizing lecture on why Congress should immunize the industry from future lawsuits as part of any tobacco legislation. But in another way, one he never intended, Mr. Goldstone was correct. Cigarettes are the only legal product sold in America that, when used as intended, kill and maim millions of individuals who use them. "The tobacco industry deliberately manipulates information to minimize the perception of risk of addiction." - Diana P. Hackbarth, RN, PhD

[4] Nicotine is the drug in tobacco that causes addiction. When a user is addicted to nicotine, they feel as if they need nicotine in order to function normally. Addiction is a form of kidnapping. Tobacco (nicotine) use is the number one health problem in the U.S. Smokers are compelled to smoke by addiction to nicotine but the harm is largely done by the 4,000+ other chemicals in the tar and gases produced by burning tobacco. It is this combination that makes tobacco so deadly.

"We are not sure that anything can be done to halt a major exodus if one gets going among the young. This group follows the crowd, and we don’t pretend to know what gets them going for one thing or another . . . Certainly Philip Morris should continue efforts for Marlboro in the youth market, but perhaps as strongly as possible aimed at the white market rather than attempting to encompass blacks as well." -- 1974 Philip Morris document.

Bennett S. LeBow bought Liggett and Myers, a tobacco company, in the mid-1980s, and with it he took on the same "party line" as the rest of the industry: That it remained unproven that nicotine was addictive, or that it caused cancer, or that the industry marketed cigarettes to youngsters.

Martin Broughton, Chief Executive BAT: "We have not concealed, we do not conceal and we will never conceal … we have no internal research which proves that smoking … is addictive." In other words BAT hasn't even studied the dangers of smoking.
