COLUMNIST CORRECT ABOUT FAILING DRUG WAR

Cynthia Tucker's column "U.S. should quietly end war on drugs"
(Star-Bulletin, June 28) is a masterpiece.

Her suggestions would allow the short-minded legislators to at least save
face. Apparently they didn't learn a thing with the legislation on
Prohibition some 70 years ago.

Why continue with a war against drugs after 40 years of utter failure and a
waste of billions of dollars of taxpayers' money?
