Quote of the Day #2

Coca Plantation
EL TARRA, Columbia - The coca leaf used to make cocaine has made such a dramatic comeback in this country that plantings now cover more territory than they did before a multibillion-dollar U.S.-sponsored campaign began 16 years go, U.S. and Colombian officials said. - Juan Forero writing in The Wall Street Journal (paywall)
The War on Drugs is never going to go away, it is our very own Forever War. There are too many people on both sides of the fight with a vested interest in keeping things the way they are. Rational discussion has no place in an argument dominated by money.
