Sunday, 17 May 2015, BOGOTA, COLOMBIA - As previously reported here Colombia this week defied 40+ years of U.S. financial and other pressure on sovereign Latin American and other nations refusing to play along any longer as a reluctant forced U.S. "partner" aerial spraying its own land and people with U.S. supplied RoundUp herbicide-homicide poison considered a "crucial aspect" of the D.E.A.'s "Plan Colombia". But this episode highlights just one more incremental U.S. international drug policy blunder in this instance incidentally chemically assaulting human beings and the environment in the ridiculously counterproductive arsenal of idiocy long deployed without regard for consequence in the name of the totally inept endemically corrupt morally bankrupt U.S. cynically bogus permanent welfare fund for hard-partying D.E.A. agent drug cartel buddies and so many parasitic others including in the "law enforcement judicial system prison industries" totally invested for their livelihood in inflicting horrific misery wantonly destroying untold lives of others including their families and children.
Such is the legacy of the stupendously utterly predictable epic failure of the cynically bogus Nixon-created "war on drugs" idiotically degrading and destroying entire nations and peoples including so many thousands of those incarcerated in the United States meanwhile having created and now generously sustaining the ever-growing monster of continually empowered viciously dangerous deeply entrenched global criminal organizations relying for their constant stream of enormous income on the moronic continuance of obviously idiotic completely failed U.S. drug criminalization policies. Such enormous sums of cash long as well have been known to fund sometimes with C.I.A. assistance terrorist activities once believed presumably "controllable in U.S. interests" but now escalated exponentially worldwide expanded geographically and in strength to the degree believed to pose most serious immediate threats to the national security of the United States.
Despite the above dismal recounting of the past near half-century of failed U.S. "drug policy" there may be some indication that the United States after 40+ years of promoting and financing at enormous cost little but devastating misery while creating a much more dangerous world for all with near absolute zero success in its stated objectives may finally be recognizing the potentially catastrophic consequences nationally and internationally that may well result if this most hideously dangerous U.S. fabricated so-called "war on drugs" is not tethered and brought to a reasoned halt with all due haste. To wit the following excerpt from the New York Times link below bears insertion here so readers themselves who wish to may assess the degree to which U.S. officialdom at long last may be far too belatedly but nevertheless beginning to acknowledge the magnitude of the U.S. near half-century of grossly erroneous "drug policy" phony "war on drugs" which a sick criminal President resigned in disgrace declared solely for completely unrelated typically delusional self-serving manipulative ends yet has persisted like a zombie on its disastrous course ever since:

"Colombia is one of the closest allies of the United States in Latin America, so its decision to stop aerial spraying was highly symbolic. The tactic was a central part of its American-backed antidrug effort, and Colombia’s decision was made over objections from Washington.
But once it was clear that Colombia would go its own way, Washington’s response was relatively muted, with American officials offering their public support.
The American reaction was a strong contrast to its approach in years past, when Washington would have been much more insistent, analysts said.
“I believe we’re at a transition point right now,” said William R. Brownfield, the American assistant secretary of state for international narcotics and law enforcement affairs.
As former American ambassador to Colombia, he spoke in favor of the coca spraying program before the Colombian government’s decision to end it. But he also said that the dialogue on drug policy in Latin America was a positive development.
“We are effectively in the middle of this discussion,” Mr. Brownfield said. “We should be talking about considering and where appropriate adopting moderate and reasonable reforms to international drug control policy."
Readers interested in significantly more information about the above including the reaction of other Latin American nations to the U.S. drug policies hoisted or attempted to be on their countries and where those countries stand today such as Bolivia which "kicked out" the D.E.A. in 2009 can go to link below detailing the reactions and attitudes of many of Colombia's Latin American neighbors to the U.S. sponsored indeed created "war on drugs" where no such war nor accompanying extreme bloodshed had existed before.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/16/world/americas/latin-america-and-us-split-in-drug-fight.html?ref=americas
