WAR ON DRUGS IS WASTE OF MONEY

According to The New York Times, our president and his spinmeisters have 
not denied his smoking of marijuana. At least this "no comment" is less 
foolish than his predecessor's "didn't inhale" statement.

Incredibly, President Bush continues to throw good money after bad to fund 
the absurd and unwinnable "war against drugs." Perhaps instead of trying to 
take back Nevada's share of Bureau of Land Management monies, a few billion 
dollars could be taken away from the budget of the Drug Enforcement 
Administration and applied to our laughingstock of a national debt.
