I have no problem with the police setting up a dragnet to apprehend fugitives.

Then the War on Drugs is a just cause, as long as they have a procedure for detecting smugglers, dealers and users.

Thanks.

I believe in strong law enforcement, especially local law enforcement to keep the peace. If you're referring to prohibition then we're talking about who should and who shouldn't be fugitives in the first place. On that subject I do not support a war on drugs, perhaps an economic sanctions on drugs. As for violent criminals, I believe little expense should be spared achiving their capture.

I believe the federal government should apply the 21st Amendment to the question of regulating drugs, as it did with alcohol. Enforcing prohibition is a misuse of federal government power, but I do not believe it unjust. I certianly believe the intentions behind it are good, but you know what they say about those.
