The war on drugs is like beating a child for crying. The child will just cry more, and a bad parent will smack it harder.


So keep smacking till it dies and the drugs stop flowing?

I knew someone would type something like this.

The drugs will never stop flowing, since many of them come from naturally occuring sources. The best thing to do is follow Portugal's example.


Obviously they will.  We just need to keep hitting until the child dies.

You'll have to elucidate on why this is obvious, because your statement doesn't actually explain itself.

because you said it will happen.  and we have proof.  that guy who beat his kid to death for acting like a girl.  the child will die if we just keep hitting.  Dont lose hope now.

No I didn't. I provided a metaphor, and you ran away with it.

So, do you believe in your conclusion to that analogy? If so, how do you think that conclusion will be enacted? If not, what alternatives can you suggest for coping?

@Pariz. Nothing has changed in Colombia? So much has changed, the state was in an existential crisis. It now has much firmer authority and even the main rebel group, FARC, is being severely beaten now. Also do you really think it's that easy to stop drug smuggling? Trust me, countries have and are trying.

You are right on each and every point. The thing is that I cannot but center my atention on the fact that US military presence persues not only non specifically to fight down the FARC. Not only that: it helps this rebel groups (which in most cases are anti-colonialism of any type) to gain more support from citizenship.
