17,000 dead Americans each year from cocaine, 80% of which is coming from Chavez's "near zero cooperation" Venezuela.

And 93% of the world's heroin comes from Afghanistan, where our military operates "freely"?

We buy the drugs that are killing our children and fund our enemies that are killing our children.

Hey President Obama!!! Is there something about "killing our children" that you don't get?

We blockade Cuba? And not Venezuela?

We need a "Stimulus Package" in our thinking....

17,000 dead Americans each year from cocaine,

Yeah right. Let's see you back that one up.

And how much money do we spend each year on the Drug War?

The question needs to be asked and rationally discussed at what point does a particular law or doctrine become counterproductive or violate basic tenets of our existence as a nation without everyone hyperventilating, proposing hypothetical scenarios, or name calling. That for a change would be refreshing.

So we've given up most of the Bill of Rights so that we can intercept 5 percent of the "drugs." But some drugs aren't "drugs" because enough people use them, even though they are as fatal as the illegal "drugs." But even those "drugs" that are less lethal than acceptable drugs are still illegal for some mysterious reason.

Keep pounding money down this rat hole of a failed drug war.

17,000 Americans dead

That’s part of the price we pay for enforcing a black market monopoly on narcotics. How many would be alive if we used the drug war money on treatment instead of interdiction and user criminalization?

[trumandogz]

Wow!

A 5% Success Rate.

Oh who cares about drugs??

I just wanna know more about these “semi-submersibles”. They sound pretty cool.

[P.O.E.]

Looks like good job prospects for illegal immigrants.
