THE COCAINE WAR

Share

Stanley Meisler’s article, “Nothing Works,” exemplifies the polarization between wealthy, white liberals and left-wing theorists on one side and our elected leaders, the black community and the white American majority on the other. The academic/intellectual experts and scholars who so ludicrously decry the government’s “war on drugs” are partially to blame for the nightmare quandary in which this nation finds itself. They supported lenient policies in criminal and drug cases, and many sentimentalized the ‘60s drug counterculture. The resulting detritus can be observed on our streets every day and threatens the safety of law-abiding citizens of all races every night.
