NARCO WAR

Just as alcohol prohibition gave rise to Al Capone, drug prohibition
has created the violent drug-trafficking organizations behind all the
killings in Mexico. Drug prohibition finances organized crime at home
and terrorism abroad, which is then used to justify increased drug-war
spending. Whether we like it or not, drugs are here to stay.
Changing human nature is not an option. Reforming harmful drug laws,
however, is an option, one that the Obama administration should pursue.
