America on drugs

Americans are told that our nation is the only superpower left. As a
superpower, America cannot stop the overwhelming influx of drugs across its
borders? The truth is that our government, influenced by drug money from the
drug cartels, doesn't want to halt the drug flow. How many senators and
representatives have accepted illegal contributions from drug barons?

Why has our government diverted attention from the war on drugs to the
eradication of cigarette smoking? Is it because the war on drugs is lost or
does the government want people to forget there ever was one? Or is there a
plan to develop another illicit trade, cigarettes, for those already involved
in contraband?

Of the two evils, cigarette smoking and drug abuse, which is the more
destructive, the one our government should eliminate first? Drug barons
control the nations of Columbia and Mexico. Are they now controlling America?
