And it made no sense whatsoever... (my bolding and underlining).

It makes perfect sense if the focus of the decision was to continue to generate massive untaxed profits for the privatized global drug lords --- and all those who sail in her...

Indeed. As a famous drug baron once said, "surely your Governments realise that the current drug laws are our greatest asset".

As for that nasty piece of work Gordon Brown, currently trying to remould his image as that of brave global statesman in these turbulent times, I think this quote from Thomas Jefferson best describes him:

"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty".
