Drug War: Yet Another Failed Conflict The U.S. Must Continue, Says Clinton
The violence in the
U.S. from Mexican drug gangs has been grossly overstated,
for sure. Now here's another troubling commentary, courtesy of
our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton:
"Clearly what we've been doing has not worked," Clinton told reporters on her plane at the start of her two-day trip, saying that U.S. policies on curbing drug use, narcotics shipments and the flow of guns have been ineffective.
"Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade," she added. "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police, of soldiers and civilians."
U.S. drug demand is not insatiable; it's relatively stable and predictable. And more to the point (and for the 10,000th time), the violence stems not from the demand itself but from the idiotic and counterproductive war on drugs. Outlaw butter and you'll see the same sort of black market enforced through violence. Outlaw, I don't know, booze and you'll see the same.
Hillary Clinton, like all too many pols, sees only one way to deal with this: More force. Which means more violence.
Clinton's comments came at the start of a U.S. blitz to emphasize support for Mexico's embattled government and improve relations with Latin America. The Obama administration announced Tuesday that it is sending hundreds more agents and extra high-tech gear to the border to intercept weapons and drug proceeds heading south. U.S. border states have become alarmed about a possible spillover of the drug violence, and Congress has held hearings on the drug war.
Clinton vowed to press for swift delivery of equipment promised under the Merida Initiative, a three-year $1.4 billion package of anti-drug assistance to Mexico and Central America. Mexican officials and U.S. lawmakers say there are long lag times for helicopters and other desperately needed gear. In addition, Mexicans complain that Congress has approved only $700 million of the $950 million that the Bush administration requested for the program since it began last year.

As always with the statists, its the inanimate objects that are the
problem, not the idiots holding them and pulling the trigger.

I live in New Mexico. I'm terrified beyond belief that all of
this violence and mayhem that stems COMPLETELY from the US and it's
lack of iron fist like control over EVIL, EVIL guns is going to
come here to where I live and threaten the peaceful, wonderful
children and all the people who support our amazing Government and
our exhalted leader! PLEASE! Innocent blood is on our hands! We
must realize and accept that what this country was based on is
nothing more than a fantasy and that our leaders know what is best
for the World. Oh, the humanity...
A part of my soul just died writing that so I hope you people are
entertained.

"Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade," she added. "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police, of soldiers and civilians."
I vote we all chip in an buy Episiarch a shirt with this quote.
On the back, it'll say, "Guilty as charged."
Is it even remotely possible that these drug warriors don't know
that it's the "war" that creates virtually all of the violence?
They just think that any attempt to end or reduce the "war" will
get them in trouble with the public ("But who will stop little
Johnny from smoking crack if it's legal?!").

Cartels enabled by illegal trade of black market drugs create
large amounts of violence. These cartels also create a huge demand
for black market guns.
Solution?
Step up restrictions on guns!
Yay! More ways for the violent cartels to make money!

Cabeza De Vaca,

Mexico."
Politician Reinmoose|3.26.09 @ 8:46AM|#
If we would just allow domestic production of drugs then we
wouldn't have to rely on foreign sources. We could create jobs,
right here in Amerka, growing weed and opiates. Farmers could grow
these cash crops to subsidize their family opperations and we could
eliminate most of the farm bill. The extra economic activity and
tax revenues generated would be enough to get us out of this
crisis! Are you with me!?
*looks around*
*crickets*
Kyle Jordan|3.26.09 @ 8:50AM|#
So, wait, if our "insatiable" appetite for illegal drugs is
destroying Mexico, wouldn't that solve the Illegal Immigration
problem? Thus strengthening unions here in the US so they don't
have to compete with the cheaper, skilled labor?
The Leader and his administration are looking a gift horse in the
mouth.

"Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug

Since illegal drug user create the drug market, and the suppliers
are killing people, then drug users are responsible for these
deaths. If all users obeyed the law and got off drugs these deaths
would stop, therefore how about we charge users with murder.
"Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled
across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of
police, of soldiers and civilians."
Easy to solve, ban sales to non citizens.

What is there to say anymore? I mean really? Like Nick said, its
been said about 10,000 times. The arguments for the drug war fail
on every single level, be it practical or philosophical. It just
doesn't make any sense whatsoever. How stupid does it have to get
before people understand that legalization would solve these
problems?
As a side note, I was speaking with my Bill O'Reilly loving ultra
republican grandfather a few days ago, and even he says "Duh,
legalize it and this shit wont happen". So maybe there is a light
at the end of the tunnel, where enough stupidity will eventually
change even old people's minds. Or it could be the exception
proving the rule. I hope for the former.

Really, what is it going to take to get people to realize it's an

failed but didn't know how to admit it and parroted the Leninist
line in public.

I support drug legalization as much as anyone else, but I'm not quite opposed to supporting the Mexican government in cracking down on the cartels. Even if we legalized drugs today, I surmise the cartels would not disappear tomorrow. They'd still use criminal violence to maintain their market share, and the Mexican government would still have to respond with force. Only by forcibly upholding the law against the cartels would legalization successfully bleed the cartels dry.

I thought she was marginally attractive in the 80s and early 90s,

The press corps bursted out laughing at the blogger's suggetion that we legalize recreational marijuana.

Tony, yeah drug war support is bipartisan. Republicans have their share of blame for it, but they receive more than their fair share of criticism for it. A Democratically controlled congress sent drug war bills to Nixon for signing. Regan and Bush ramped up the drug war, but Clinton doubled the number of marijuana related arrests. Clinton drawfed the Ragan's arrest record. I also read more editorials calling for an end to the drug war in the Wall Street Journal than I find in the New York Times.
