Hey all,
So, I've been discussing this topic over the past couple of days, and this book (movie) came back to me. This book presented a whole other aspect to the war on drugs in terms of enforcement. It suggested using a military approach to stop drugs. The method used by our government (after a friend of the president's is killed by a drug cartel) is very hands on. They send military teams into Columbia where they blow up airfields, drug production facilities, and even lower level drug production. They also take out most of the top drug dealers in a bombing, but it comes back to hurt the soldiers in a negative way. The groups are sold out and left for dead even though the operation was successful. Of course, some of the guys make it out, but they suffer heavy causalities in the process. Overall, it's a very good book, but it's also an interesting concept. Honestly, it'd be difficult for me to support it, but it was an idea that I wouldn't have thought of. What do you think?
According to the latest poll, 51 percent of Americans believe marijuana is safer than alcohol. You seem to be advocating that we should kill 51 percent of the population for the crime of having common sense.
ReplyDeletewell, actually, I was discussing the book Clear and Present Danger which represents a military approach to the drug war. I didn't advocate that marijuana users should be killed nor did I support the plan proposed in the book. I merely called it interesting. In the book, they attempt to destroy the cocaine production facilities and transportation in Columbia as a way to keep drugs out of the country. At no point do I say anything about users of drugs in this country in this posting.
