Rep. Burton on Eradicating Coca Crops in South America
According to the logic in Burton’s commentary, most Asian countries have the right to fly over to the United States and drop “Spike” or its equivalent to poison our tobacco fields--”with or without the cooperation of its leaders.”
“But if it comes to a choice between offending foreign leaders by violating their borders to kill (tobacco) plants and seeing hundreds of thousands of young (Asians) die or be ruined for life because (tobacco) is so readily available on our streets, there is no choice to be made.”
