As someone who has lived in a country that could be considered a narco-state, I can tell you it and its inhabitants would be miles better off without the importation of the US's drug war. The US should fight (or better, give it up) its drug war on its own soil.

Nah. That wouldn't feed the insatiable maw that is the MIC and its fellow travelers.
