If we stopped the drug war and focused our forces on actual crime, it would be a different country.

Guess that goes to show the influence the for-profit prison industry, the legal industry, the DEA (and other law enforcement entities), and the banks that launder drug money have over U.S. policy. Teh War on Drugs is lucrative for a lot of very bad people.

Discounting the educated opinions of so many other nation's leaders, so casually, was a bad move - They know that our war on drugs is having detrimental effects on their people and their economies.
