COSTLY DRUG WAR
The price of the American drug war this year is nearing $40 billion. Our prisons are full of non-violent drug offenders, and violence along
the Mexican-U.S. border is constant.
One might think the only victims of the drug war are drug users and
criminals, although this is not necessarily the case.
In Mexico, there have been an estimated 28,000 deaths since Felipe
Calderon has taken office and pledged to fight drug criminals.
