Some of the other Freepers might have to help me out, but wasn't there a Clinton scandal about cocaine planes?

IMHO, this is one of the primary reasons the War on Drugs is such a farce.

If the government truly didn't want drugs coming into the country, there wouldn't be any....or at least a lot less.

The fact is, they only want to control the drugs coming into the country because it provides a massive under the table income for them while also providing a massive amount of income for the governments via the judicial/law enforcement/incarceration complex.

Think about it. Some of the political elite have provable records as to where their enormous wealth came from. Others.....not so much.

LOL! Control and unlimited money. What more could a socialist want?

Only by turning our land of the free into a police state could they even hope to significantly reduce drugs - and even China and Iran have drug problems.

[The War on Drugs is] providing a massive amount of income for the governments via the judicial/law enforcement/incarceration complex.

That I agree with 100% - the War on Drugs is just another utopian big-government program that has failed for everyone but those paid to carry it out.
