UNWINNABLE WAR

Major kudos for your outstanding editorial, "FBI remodeling job too
little, too late" (May 31).

If the United States had continued its counterproductive alcohol
prohibition policies up to and through World War II, it is very
doubtful the Allies would have been victorious.

If we continue to waste our nation's resources and manpower on our
counterproductive, unwinnable war on certain (politically selected)
drugs, our nation's very survival will be in jeopardy. Our government
should concentrate on protecting us from enemies that want to destroy
us. Our government cannot protect us from ourselves, and should not
try to.
