DON'T BLAME DRUG USERS

I was shocked and disturbed by reading Peter Strachan's suggestion 
that Jane Creba's death may be linked, in part, to recreational drug 
users. This is an example of the crappy kind of logic Bono uses to 
link African poverty to lack of aid from Western nations: It leads 
nowhere and does nothing to help us understand why these sad situations happen.
