The War on Drugs

So this is what it comes to.

Brazil is set to start shooting down aircraft suspected of smuggling drugs across its jungles in 90 days, now that it issued a controversial new law on Monday after a six year delay.

We must really be proud of ourselves. This certainly seems like a case of the punishment not fitting the crime.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's signature on the law, which was approved by Congress in 1998, has prompted Washington to warn that it could curtail anti-drug cooperation with Brazil if it concludes there are not sufficient precautions to satisfy U.S. law.

Yeah, I bet. Again, we must be really proud of ourselves.
