Articles on the nightmare that the House of Saud has perpetrated on the rest of us

I'll pass on the softballs that appeared elsewhere in your post. As for what you say above, its nonsense. Would you settle for a but-for test? But for drugs being illegal, they would be widely available and cheap and relatively unprofitable for criminals. (Your position) Check. But, but for criminals in this country providing a demand for illegal drugs at expensive prices, they would be completely unprofitable for criminals (My position: No demand = No Supply). You can hide your face in a crowd of criminals and say its the mob at fault, but it doesn't take away your incremental contribution to the harm by way of your incremental demand. And only the Lord knows what message you send to the children of this country when you deny culpability for the harms that result from your actions. A Friday night in Southwest or Lawndale would do your sense of wrong, right.
