Attention,
Pulitzer Committee:
Says
Drug Prohibition is "imposed
by the US"
on other countries
"In Colombia, President
Clinton observed "This is not Vietnam." Of course it
isn't. If it was Vietnam he'd have been nowhere near the place.
What Clinton really meant was "The war on drugs is not the
Vietnam War." Which makes no sense since Vietnam was the
original war on drugs -- everybody was on drugs over there....
and George W. Bush was born with a silver spoon -- in his nose."

PLAN COLOMBIA
SAYS:
"There is no question that Colombia suffers from the
problems of a state yet to consolidate its power: a lack of confidence
in the capacity of the armed forces, the police, and the judicial
system to guarantee order and security; a credibility crisis
at different levels and in different agencies of government;
and corrupt practices in the public and the private sectors.
All this has been fed and aggravated by the enormous destabilizing
effects of drug trafficking, which, with vast economic resources,
has constantly generated indiscriminate violence while undermining
our values,
on a scale
comparable only to the era of Prohibition in the United States."
