Latin Leaders for Legal Drugs NewsMax.com Wednesday, March 21, 2001 When Western Hemisphere government leaders convene in April they could find themselves discussing legalization of drugs as the only effective way to combat narcotics cartels. This is an issue – always taboo when heads of state meet to discuss common problems – that has lurked below the surface for years. Now it's moving closer to the point that it may no longer be avoided. The two prime movers of getting the subject on the agenda of the April 20-22 Quebec Summit of the Americas – one of them perhaps inadvertently, the other deliberately – are Mexican President Vicente Fox and Uruguayan President Jorge Batlle Ibanez. The Ottawa Citizen is reporting that: Fox created a stir recently when he agreed with statements by leading Mexican police officials that legalization is the only way to win the war on drugs.
