40 years of fighting the war on drugs has not resulted in victory.

It's just another of the endless wars to suppress the people and rob our future of the peace and prosperity that is the human potential.

The more one studies the dark history of the US national security state, the more transparent the CIA – Wall Street connections become. The links to the international drug trade are less obvious, but have existed from the beginning, that is, from the days of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the CIA. Time and again, the same pattern has played out: US military interventions in Southeast Asia, Central America and, since 2001, Afghanistan and Iraq, have been accompanied by a sharp increase in narco-trafficking, with all of the attendant evils. These include the plague of drug...

Yep. The war on drugs was phenomonally successful!

It allowed the government to bypass the constitution for 30 years until it could start an even more effective war, the war on terrorism.

Forgot in which south-american country they have legalized most drugs, but I think there is at ;east somewhat of a chance that Mexico might follow soon as they have recently disassembled their drug task force and are reconsidering options. That would up the pressure on the US (and also limit control) to end this nonsensical war.

How about the Citizens United ruling, that makes political contributions towards elections unlimited, anonymous, and also untracable. How much Afghanistan-opium laundered money is used under the above, OR to just outright launder money?
