This War on Drugs will Fail

This war on drugs will fail because it is founded on the wrong principles.

Human life is expendable.
Human rights are only for the law-abiding.
The ends justify the means.

Due process is a technicality that can be flouted.
Fear is a rightful tool for law enforcement.
Severity of punishment deters crime.
The rule of law is binding only when it serves prevailing doctrine.
Those who oppose the war are to be counted as enemies.
Ethics and faith are irrelevant to the issues at hand.
The death of innocents is acceptable collateral damage.
