WAR WITHOUT END

Kudos for publishing Rempel's Op-Ed article. It illustrates that, 
like a cancer, drug suppliers will continue to find opportunities to 
expand even as some opportunities are erased.

The cartels' motivation is our seemingly bottomless demand for 
certain mind-altering drugs. The law of supply and demand amply 
explains the how and why of it.

Only legalization and commitment to treatment has any hope of ending 
the violence associated with the illegal drug trade.
