In a UN conference in Vienna of anti-drug agencies, several announced that the UN's "War on Drugs" is unwinnable. An Italian dignitary stated:
In the five years since the U.N. launched its war on drugs, the numbers show the use of all the major drugs has increased ... as well as drug-related deaths from overdose and HIV/AIDS.
Sir Keith Morris, former British Ambassador to Colombia stated:
The war on drugs cannot be won because it is a war on human nature. History shows that no society ever existed which was "drug-free."Posted by Tiger at April 17, 2003 04:31 PM
