Everyone talks about stopping drugs entering the border but no one talks about dismantling the extremely efficient logistic network that makes those drugs available in every corner of each major city.

I guess it’s easier to blow up random boats in the pacific than prosecuting corrupt officials but is it effective?

Because it's un-American and murder to kill criminal suspects instead of trying them in a court of law.

I would say it's as American as it gets, and in this case justified as well. Do you not know America's history..? Even recent one? Obama ordered drone strikes in foreign countries as well.

We know it’s not justified because they aren’t enemy combatants.

What is the difference between this and sending hellfire missiles on Afghanis based on cell phone data, during the Obama administration?
