One
of the least discussed issues in the presidential campaign is the war
on drugs. That's unfortunate, because that crusade has been an
expensive catastrophe both domestically and internationally. During the
decades since Richard Nixon declared a "war" on illegal drugs in 1971,
the United States has spent
nearly one trillion dollars trying to eradicate the drug trade, filled
America's prisons with nonviolent drug offenders, ruined millions of
lives and undermined the Bill of Rights -- especially the Fourth
Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.
