The more I hear you liberals-who are America's biggest enemies-grouse about Eliot Abrams, the more I think he's overdue for a granite statue in the Capitol Mall. Good article by Paul Craig Roberts. The wrong-headed "drug war" is a major weakness of the conservative movement.

From the Roberts article: <<The conservatives' war on drugs is an example of good intentions that have had unfortunate consequences.>> This is the fatal flaw in the liberal movement and should not be imitated by conservatives. The liberals defend their stupidity because their intentions made them "feel good" and therefore the fact that they resulted in failure, suffering, and results the exact opposite from what was desired, doesn't count. I can't think of a better way to describe the "War on Drugs".
