DRUG CZARS' JOBS DEPEND ON DRUG WARS

To the Editor:

Truth to tell, the drug-warrior politicians, officials, media and civilians 
'secretly' don't list victory as an objective in their expensive and 
oppressive trillion-dollar war. When they do spout their "zero 
tolerance/total victory" rhetoric, how many of your readers actually 
believe them? How many actually believe that this year's multi-billion 
dollar drug war budget will be the one that will achieve total victory 
after decades of billion-dollar budgets have totally failed? Just remember 
the drug czars' and warriors' jobs depend on the perpetual prosecution of, 
but never a victory in, the drug war.
