I realize that Jamaica is a pretty violent place at the best of times, and that gangsters have no one but themselves to blame for their crimes. But still, one has to wonder about the net benefits attained by extraditing a guy to the US, for the crime of selling a product that the cutomers wanted to buy, when the side-effects are bombings, murder, and military incusrions.

The "war on drugs" is weird. On one hand, "War on Drugs" sounds like an awesome idea, but in practice, it's just wrong, especially when you look at the problems it causes for people who have nothing to do with drugs both in the US and internationally. |
