WAR ON DRUGS, AGAIN?

July 21, 2009

A reported kidnap and rape of a drug agent’s daughter has sparked outrage and re-ignited calls for an all-out war against drugs— again.  Turned out, the report was wrong.    So now, the expected bloodbath resulting from another full-scale confrontation between law enforcers and the armed forces of the underground is put on hold yet until the next flare up.

It’s not new:  impassioned law enforcers promising total wipe out of all the agents of  the trade backed up by an outraged citizenry and a furious government.   Lightning arrests sure to follow, dozens dead in dark alleys and more in far away places in days, confiscations and seizures, executions…Then the lull– as usual.  Until the next outbreak.   Like a gangster movie played, replayed, rewritten, reconstructed, replayed over and over again and again, same beginning, plot and ending.  See what do we have:  a trade even more vigorous and much more prosperous than ever before.  It’s like the industry itself loves the periodic bloodletting, the blood of some of its own its very nourishment.

When shall we learn to face the reality that the war on drugs is totally wasted?!
