>> jonathan said something that i absolutely agree with. that is the media reflects what the public wants. in my view, the media, in general, feed a voracious appetite for vengeance by an informed public. often influenced by fear, prejudice, and ignorance. i think one of the reasons criminal defense lawyers argued so poorly is people do not understand the source of crime. they want simple, quick responses to a complicated long- term solutions. you cannot fight crime by doing what the governor is doing, cutting social services and building new prisons. [applause] you do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand. all of us who have been involved in the criminal-justice system know where people who commit crimes come from. they are poor people, people of color, victims of abuse, the mentally ill, people with substance abuse problems. there are the people that fall through the cracks of society. but that is the public read what the public wants and the public is understandably afraid because this is a real problem. then there are these pe

i'm asking the question -- jonathan caulkins said afghanistan is different. but what makes afghanistan different in that regard? and why isn't there strong argument, and asht against law enforrement in every case? against -- because in every case law enforcement will raise the price of -- of something that seels on an inelastic market and at least if it is a commodity like opium, it will increase the total revenues. if they are right, why is the argument much broader? they may have a very good answer to that. it is probably going through your minds too. so i wanted to ask it. there are -- their whole argument is based, as i think it fairly safely can be based on the advantage to the taliban of getting increased revenues. i just raised the question whether they will get increased profits when they get increased revenues. i've answered that question. let's assume they did get increased profits. the -- pursuing law enforcement -- when you think about what to do with an organization like the taliban or al qaeda, a good starting place is to think of all the things

as jonathan pointed out, it is widely agreed that we should be against drugs. heroin growing in afghanistan is dead for heroin addicts, their families, their neighbors, the afghan government, and it is good for the taliban. therefore, it is said, since drugs are bad, counter-narcotics efforts are good, and if some is good, more is better. there is a widely shared piety that drugs are bad, and we should all be doing more to fight them. you'll get a lot of head nod about that. in particular, it is claimed that since the taliban and makes money off of the drug trade and the afghan government is weakened by the drug trade, counter-narcotics is counter- insurgency. but, it is not necessarily sell. the natural result of counter- narcotics efforts is to increase the flow of funds to dealers, and to increase the share of those funds going to insurgents, war lords, and corrupt officials. every enforcement action creates a loser. someone is drunk at sea, someone gets arrested, someone gets sent to prison, but everyone else in the trade is a winner. they just lost a compe
