<a href="http://www.cato.org/current/drug-war/index.html">The drug war has failed.</a> It is not winnable and it is the largest source of attrocities of the American government on both American and foreign citizens.
But even when we're not <a href="http://www.onwar.com/aced/data/papa/panamaus1989.htm">invading other countries</a>, <a href="http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/peru_americanplane_010422.html">shooting down planes of missionaries</a>, or <a href="http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa-180es.html">bastardizing the bill of rights in this war</a>, and we actually try to help treat drug users, our country screws it up.
Read about the <a href="http://www.theagitator.com/straightfox.php">tough love treatments</a> some of the Drug War's biggest supporters would advocate (Including our ambassador to Italy and the Bush family). Read about the <a href="http://www.sptimes.com/2002/06/07/Floridian/_In_the_middle_of_a_n.shtml">victims</a> and what they now have to live with. Why do we as a country put up with it? And why do we allow the people who advocate these attrocities to run the country?
