Actually I think it's a brilliant comparison.
The solution to one is the solution to the other.
Legalize drugs AND legalize terrorism!!
Here's how it would work.
The goverment would set up, or allow private companies to set up "Drug Centers". All the crack heads and heroine addicts could get clean needles, 'clean' drugs, at only 10% over cost, or they could use their 'Drug Stamps' for the majority who are out of work. They could rent (or use their drug stamps) a low cost space in this drug center with their buddies or by themselves and shoot up, smoke, inject all they want. Medical staff would be provided of course. They wouldn't be allowed to drive home while high, but could use public transportation or the new Mono Rail. In fact, there would be a special run of the mono rail called the 'druggee rail' that would be reserved just for them - to help them get to work and their jobs in one peice.
As for the terrorists, they'd be supplied with strap on bombs with FCC regulated detonators. They'd receive goverment grants to take the new Evergreen College courses: Killing Infidels 101, Strap-Ons Aren't just for gays 201, 72 Virgins - they're waiting 301.
Then they'd be sent around the country to blow up themselves and their targets. Their targets are goverment or privately provided buildings away from populated areas called 'Drug Centers'....
PS - this is satire if you didn't pick up on that. I'm not really that sick in the head to think drug users should die....
