The problem with the war on drugs is not supply, it's demand. The criminal element is involved in drug trafficing because it is incredibly profitable. Why is it so profitable? Because it's illegal but people want it bad enough to pay anything for it. If we want to take the criminal element out of drugs than we must take away the incentive for huge profits and legalize the stuff.
Important note: WE ARE GETTING OUR BUTTS KICKED IN THE WAR ON DRUGS!

Eradicate the terrorists. Eradicate the crops. End of problem.

The criminal element will still be the criminal element, they will find other crimes to commit. These aren't people who want to work hard for a living, they want the easy money and they are attracted to violence. Already many of the Mexican drug cartels have included plenty of other crimes like extortion and kidnapping for ransom. The last thing they'll do is clean up and flip hamburgers for a few measley bucks.
