>>Secondly, you are badly misinformed as to what has actually been happening. The “War on Drugs” is not a war, it is a holding action. If it were a war, it would have wiped out drug suppliers years ago. It is an interdiction effort designed to hold the line as much as possible without upsetting the American people.<<

I'm a bit puzzled...hasn't the government labeled it a “War on Drugs”?

I tend to agree with you on the second point. If it were a true war on drugs, we would have had troops inside Messy-co by 15 miles. It could not have been nor will ever be a serious War on Drugs when the border remains wide open.

What should happen lickety split is all persons at the age of 18 should be drafted into military service unless unable physically. Those who cannot serve in the military should be drafted into a national service. Get these punks off the street, teach them how to become men/woman and take responsibility.

The end.

Yes, but they have not conducted it as they would a war. It is called a "War" so that politicians can create the impression that they take it seriously, but an impression is all it is.

And we would have wiped out growers in Columbia and Afghanistan. As it is, we pretty much leave them alone.

That was a task that used to be performed by parents. Nowadays too many kids grow up without a mature adult in their life teaching them what they ought to know to be an adult.
