You know how to tell if a drug warrior is lying? His lips are moving. His majesty the czar says there's no more drug war, but, at least in my world view, when wars end soldiers put down their weapons and prisoners are released. As long as drugwar soldiers (who, oddly enough, call themselves "peace officers") are roaming the streets, armed to the teeth and trolling for victims; as long as my friends, my kids' friends and my friends' kids live in cages, I will assume that the war continues unabated.
