Pubdate: Tue, 7 Dec 1999 Source: Northwest Florida Daily News (FL) Copyright: 1999 Northwest Florida Daily News Contact: http://www.nwfdailynews.com/ Author: Dan Scupin AN INSANE WAR The drug war's promotion of murderous violence was highlighted again this week with the discovery of what appear to be mass human graves in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Anyone with an ounce of common sense - of course, that excludes all drug warriors and most members of Congress - should know that the only reason for all this death and terror is the war on drugs. Isn't it obvious that the "war" is much worse than the potential drug-related problems that may occur if drugs are legalized, taxed and controlled? Just as the doomsayers were wrong when they finally ended Prohibition 1, they will be wrong again when this cruel and immoral Prohibition 2 is also ended. The only barrier to an end to this insane war is the addiction that the government and other vultures have for the money and power they get from encouraging and expanding this "war" against the American people.
