Is the Drug War a Conservative or Liberal Issue? (Warning: I am a Newbie to starting posts)

It's a statist issue, pushed by people who believe that they can utopianize the world if only they are given enough government power and resources to do it. Both "conservatives" and liberals are pretty much two sides of the same coin any more when it comes to the concept of using government power to radically change the world into a new and better (that is, in conformity with their own hopes, wishes, and dreams) place. They both seem completely blind to the fact that this was tried by the Soviets, the Nazis, the Red Chinese, and Pol Pot (among others) with only disastrous results. The liberals' excuse is that they are just as blind as ever. The conservatives have no excuse at all.
