Brookings – drug war failed

We all know that’s true, but a major think tank has finally admitted the obvious. And, in shades of the so-called “War on Terror,” the report says a large part of the problem is pursuing a force-only strategy against drugs, rather than addressing the demand side, and what drives the demand side.
The reason? Harper and his finance minister haven’t offered a stimulus package yet.

Beyond all the other areas in which he has pledged “change” (and so far, lied or deceived about that), here’s an area to make a HUGE difference.

First, he own Veep’s name is on another report describing the failures of Plan Columbia.

Second, as America’s first minority president, and a self-identified African-American, Obama KNOS what the WoD has done in black neighborhoods.

And, former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo, the listed author of the Brookings report, known’s how much the WoD has failed from the other side of the fence.
