Since the 1970s, the United States of America has been fighting the War on Drugs. And the drugs have been winning. Because our War on Drugs has led only to the proliferation of ever stronger and more concentrated drugs, I. e., going from powder cocaine to crack, there are increasing calls to surrender this war through legalization.
However, before we do that, I believe we ought to consider making a final effort to truly win this war. For the past several decades, we have fought the War on Drugs in the limited manner that the United States fought the Vietnam War, a skirmish here, a skirmish there, a delaying action and then a partial retreat. We have never gone all-out for victory.
Therefore, I suggest that we attempt to truly win this war by using the most powerful weapons in our military arsenal. We ought to drop nuclear bombs on areas where drugs on grown and on factories where they are manufactured. By turning such places into 21st Century versions of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we can emerge victorious in the War on Drugs as we did in World War Two.
