Congress should
Help
End the Mexican Civil War
The politicians have their typical
answer, which is to do more of what hasn't
worked. They want to spend more of your tax
money trying to keep drugs out of the U.S.
We've been doing this for nearly half a
century, and it hasn't worked. Even
people inside the government admit this.
Al
Capone and the mafia got rich running alcohol
during Prohibition.
When Prohibition ended the violence ended too.
Jim Beam distributors don't do drive-by
shootings on outlets that sell Jack Daniels.
And neither Jim Beam nor Jack Daniels are
killing politicians, policemen, journalists,
and private citizens.
Black-market
drug profits fund criminal enterprises that
threaten your safety, not only at home and in
Mexico, but around the world. Taliban warlords
in Afghanistan
and Pakistan fund much of their operations
through the illicit drug trade.
The solution to the
coming spillover of the Mexican Drug War is
simple: Stop doing the same failed thing over
and over again. Do something different. End
drug prohibition in the United States, and
thereby defuse the Mexican Civil War and
defund the terrorists in Afghanistan.

The problems making the news about the Arizona/Mexico border are not
caused by hard-working Mexicans who love their families and do good work
on construction sites, agricultural fields, hotels, restaurants, or a
thousand other businesses. The problems are not caused by the lack of
jackbooted thugs keeping such people from crossing the border.
The problems are caused by the unconstitutional "War on
Drugs."
The Federal Government has declared that drugs may only be sold by
organized criminal syndicates and Mexican drug cartels.
Brilliant policy.
