WAR ON DRUGS CUTTABLE

I was sorely disappointed that syndicated columnist Robert J. Samuelson 
failed to mention the totally failed war on drugs as a place for cutting 
the budget ("Realistic budget would include radical program cuts, tax 
hikes," Feb. 14).

This program keeps drug warlords in power all over the world and wastes 
scarce resources as well as putting nonviolent people into our overcrowded 
jails. The program could be completely eliminated and drugs made legal 
without any harm to society.
