WARRIORS AND DEALERS LIKE DRUG WAR

Editor:

Thank you for publishing Charles Byrnes' outstanding letter: "Drug War 
Worse Than Drug Abuse" (6-04-03). I agree with everything that Byrnes wrote 
except that not everyone wants the war on drugs to end. Both drug dealers 
and drug warriors want the drug war to continue. Drug dealers want the drug 
war to continue because without the drug war, they would be out of business 
in a heart beat. Drug warriors want it to continue because without the drug 
war, they would be out of a job. Our war on drugs stands between many drug 
warriors and drug dealers looking for a job or working at a quickie mart.
