Take special interest in the Christian Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition and the history of Nazi Germany. What they have in common is that they were all strong believers in using the coercive force of the state to enforce their morals on others. The drug war is but mankind's latest in a long list of vast dramas of scapegoat persecutions. The history books will portray those who supported it as the criminals.
