DRUG USERS FUELING WAR

Columnist Ruben Navarrette's analysis of Mexico's drug war was 
excellent ("Blame cartels, not war against them, for drug deaths," 
Opinion, May 17).

But, we in the United States have a problem, and it's users. If you 
are using drugs, buying drugs or selling drugs, you're a destroyer.

If you worry about foreign elements attacking our country, think 
again. They can destroy us from within. Historically, many countries 
have died from within.

The bottom line is that if people didn't use drugs, we could skip the 
turf wars and put all that money to better use.
