Want to weigh in today. Here's the topic for you. Should we cease our drug interdiction operations in South and Central America? We aren't stopping the drugs. We are spending billions that could be used to rebuild New Orleans, to attack Iran or Syria, to reduce taxes, or to reduce the deficit. We seem to be throwing money at these countries even though they are more socialist by the year, and some are openly talking poorly about us.

The article I chose just speaks to interdiction by boat along the shores, but I'm sure you can search and find hundreds more to give an educated response.

Don't fall for that liberal "nothing will work" philosophy ... or worse the William F. Buckley philosophy that we should legalize drugs so that drug users can pay lower prices and effectively hurt the drug cartels where their wallet is.

We should look at drug inderdiction as another wing of the war on terror. Help a country replace it's coca crop with a legal argicultural product. Drop our subsidies so they can compete in the global market. Help these countries level off their inflation through cutting government spending and empowering small business.
