Decriminalize?
February 17, 2009
Former Latin American presidents Cardoso, Gaviria and Zedillo told the United States what it didn’t want to hear: that their fight against drugs has failed and that it’s time to seek another approach.
Note: This is another encouraging piece except that Semana allows the Colombian government to get away with the strange claim that “the fight against drugs hasn’t been a failure in Colombia because if they hadn’t had implemented it, institutions would have failed”.
Strange in a country in which 4 million people have been driven from their land by government-backed paramilitaries, many too brutal to be ignored anymore by the u.s.g. which, although funding Colombia year-in-and-year-out, has had to add them to the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations. Talk about failed institutions. . .
