New this week on DRCNet's web site at hhttp://www.drcnet.org/military/
is a scathing piece by Joseph Miranda on the fallacy of a military "victory"
in the War on Drugs. Mr. Miranda, who edits Strategy and Tactics magazine,
breaks down the mission and gives an interesting and accessible analysis
of what such a mission would entail.
If you or anyone you know still believes that further U.S. military
engagement in the Drug War would be useful or desirable, we urge you to
read this piece. It will forever change the way you view our military's
role in drug policy.
ALSO NEW, "Making Sure Drugs Kill". Does a policy designed
to make drugs and drug use as dangerous as possible, both to the user and
to the community, make sense? Is it rational to believe that we will eliminate
drug use, especially among those whose use is problematic, by making the
behavior even more problematic? Or would it be wiser to attempt to minimize
the harms associated with such use? This section will be expanded considerably
as time goes on. As always, your comments and suggestions are sought and
appreciated. Online at http://www.stopthedrugwar.org/makingsure/.
