HOPELESSNESS IN MEXICO'S DRUG WAR
Regarding the Dec. 27 front-page article "Mexico questions its drug
strategy":
The United States has survived the violence of its war on drugs, but
Mexico might not. This sad situation illustrates something that nearly
everyone except the folks in the U.S. government has known since
Prohibition turned our streets into battlegrounds: The second-order
effects of criminalizing drugs cause more harm than the drugs themselves.
