Opinions and thoughts on the "War on drugs"

Around 6-12 thousand people die each year from the so called "War on drugs".In my mind there is nothing that will stop this so called "war". I mean we gave Mexico over 1.6 billion dollars to help w/ equipment and stratigic support but what has changed over the past 4 years? NOT A SINGLE THING THATS WHAT! We should not give mexico or any other country in Latin America  a single cent becaue the U.S is in some "Tough times" right now and the money we give these countrys to fight the "War on drugs" could go to other things such as education,public funding,small private business etc...

How will we as the citizens of the "Greatest country of the world" be able to stop the ruthless criminals from entering our country? The anwser is there is no way,even if we boost the security of the border by 30%,40%,90% or even 100% nothing will change people will still manage to get by.I find it particularly funny that Obama is asking congress to pass a 600M border security boost when in the end result that money is just getting waisted and could go to better things.To sum this all up the "War on drugs" will never end as long as drugs are illegal and since I really doubt they will ever be legalized and thousands and thousands of innocent people will die and all those billions of dollars will be waisted.
