"War on Drugs" by Mary H Cooper

In this article the writer talks about the crusade there has been on drugs in the United States since the 80's in the Regan presidency. In here, the author clearly states her viewpoint arguing that this war is useless only making the situation worst. all her points are very well backup with lots of statistics in drug consumption and showing how the united states government has invaded different countries all over the world, like Colombia with this as justification. I chose this article because it helps me backing up my point of view which is the same as the author. also, she sometimes admits the things that are positive about all this, although this ones are very few that do not pass the negative ones.
