It's time to declare defeat in the "War on Drugs"

Mover Mike has a post on the War on Drugs going bad.

WorldNetDaily has a story Mexican commandos new threat on border. It seems, to help fight the drug war on the US/Mexico border, the US trained an elite group of Mexican commandos. Now those commandos, now called Los Zetas, have switched sides and are working for the drug smugglers.

Using the commando training, Los Zetas are known to be extremely violent and have been blamed for an outbreak of violence along the Mexican border.

There are reports of the commandos making cross-border runs into U.S. territory in military-style vehicles, armed with automatic weapons.

Do we as the providers of the money to fight the drug war, have any idea of the amount of money spent? Do we have any evidence that the war to keep drugs out of the US is working? Do we as the providers of the money have a right to demand accountability? I suspect the money has been wasted! I think it's time to consider legalization, because it's about the money, ours and the profits that are made by the drug runners.

If the "War on Drugs" was really about drugs you would have to say we are losing. I've always thought that the "War on Drugs" was less about drugs and more about an excuse to meddle in the affairs of other governments. In any event this war is being fought with the same level of incompetence as everything else the government does.
