The 'drug war' isn't an accurate term.

Their not fighting over drugs - Their fighting over money.

It's a 'Money War'. (as all wars are)

no profit motive = no gang violence

[stoicG]

I am convinced that drugs should be legalized, controlled, but never marketed or advertised in any way. Take the power out of the criminals hands, use the billions of dollars in profits to pay medical costs as opposed to what's happening now...

@MrOfferp - True

What did WE get financially out of that?

Oh yea, I remember now - more taxes and less freedom.

[MrOfferp]

@mikeduhgamer2 - this was war....not just a warrant execution. police in the US don't come under that type of fire.

@mikeduhgamer2 Think of it like this. Police dont just rush in there like half of the druggies they find. Half of the armed people have guns with as much fire power as the swat teams and in this case they did. they had assault rifles sub machine guns everything. and they did it all for drugs.
