It;s easy enough to fix the drug situation... end the war on citizens! Kill the black market, release the political prisoners (that IS what they are) and start using the money to create drug abuse prevention and rehabilitation programs.

Unfortunately the notion might be true, but the reality is far different. They kill thousands of targets, and 10s of thousands of innocent people are murdered in the process. It's basically the same result, no matter how it's spun!

Agreed - and as I said, we should have intervened yrs ago.

The point is - this guy MUSA is pulling the "Islamophobia card" again. We can't win no matter what we do. If we did nothing at all about ISIS, they'd be accusing us being Islamophobes for not helping innocent Muslims being slaughtered.

They could also stop importing gang members and telling us they are children, poor children!

The war on drugs has failed.

The morons say kill all the cartel members, which is impossible. They don't realize that someone will replace them before their buried. They are out of touch with reality.

The only solution is to make illegal drugs not profitable for the cartels.

All the children kidnapped by the cartels and slaves they have "messed" with them? The 300 Americans killed by the cartels in Mexico-many likely on vacation- "messed with them"?

I doubt that. Plus ISIL stated their reasons for the killings-US bombings in Syria- so I'm not sure where you are getting your information from that they want to kill people that are not Muslims. They have probably KILLED more Muslims than ANYONE!

Exactly-it's actually VERY simple but for some reason we allow our Politicians to pretend ignorance and fake a moral high ground-FRAUDS.

It won't happen. Too many special interests in our government benefit, and profit from keeping the "war on drugs" alive and well. The war on drugs is nothing more than a farce!
