It Depends on What Your Definition of ‘Real’ Is

Quote for the Day:

"We're between the biggest producer of cocaine and the biggest consumer of cocaine, and we're the problem?"
-Nestor Reverol, president of Venezuela’s National Anti-Drug Office.
Hey good point! The Post ran a story today about Venezuela’s efforts to keep Colombia’s cocaine problem out of their country, basically a major increase in arrests, anti-drug infrastructure and massive seizures. The funny part was when the U.S. official attempted to explain why the way Colombia does it, which involves turning your government over to a foreign power and letting them kill your poor people with gunfire and napalm while seeing a net increase in cocaine production, is superior:
"If you want to see what makes a consequential difference, you look at what's been going on in Colombia -- real arrests, going after traffickers, infrastructure, really seizing."
Really seizing, see?
