I didn't know about the insider trading conviction.You'd think a man as rich as Soros would stay away from this kind of thing.

The man's a Democrat. Asking him to avoid breaking the law is like asking a bee to not collect nectar.

Soros also claims to be a "moderate republican."

In my experience those ar far worse than liberal Democrats.

Yet he supports Wesley Clark- which you would think is odd for a guy who doesn't care for aggressive cowboys and compares them to Nazis.

Soros' is a free trader and that you would think is great; but his free trade interest seems to be focused on the free flow of drugs at market prices, IMHO.

Which explains his preference for in Clinton, and deep interest in specific parts of the world.

Soros appears to have funneled lots of cash into the Balkans, with US government approval; but I suspect a lot of the "grassroots" orgnizations he was propping up were - whether he knew it or not- fronts for Islamic terrorists backed by al Qaeda, or certainly organizations infiltrated by them. I would not be surprised if they were fronts for drug traffic from opium rich Afghanistan, as well.

If anything, to understand Soros, who is all over the map idealogically, I believe you would have to understand the lllegal drug trade. It appears to be the common thread which binds all of his thinking. And it explains his dislike of the currentsituation in that the War on Terror has been very detrimental to the illegal drug trade.
