REPEAL DRUG LAWS

Re: "Peace Prize-winning Obama backs military growth in Colombia --
There is more than one route to peace in Colombia, says Tod Robberson,"
last Sunday Points.

As a police officer who worked in the trenches of the drug war for 18
years, I agree with Robberson. There is more than one path to peace in
Colombia, namely repealing prohibition laws.

After a trillion dollars and 40 years of failed strategies (Plan
Colombia, Plan Mexico, mandatory minimum sentencing, etc.), everyone
knows that this modern prohibition will continue until we become as
wise as our grandparents were in 1933.

I marvel how intelligent people like Robberson miss the obvious,
certain solution.
