Mr. Buckley and all four of his guests agree that the War on Drugs has failed and should be ended. But these shows are no exercise in redundancy; each participant came to his conclusion by a different route, and each of the shows examines a different aspect of the problem: the first, the cost of the war; the second, approaches to legalization; the third, political difficulties in the way of reform. SD: "My position is that we should repeal prohibition for any drug for which there is a major black market. I'm not a libertarian and I would have no difficulty with prohibiting some drugs, as long as the prohibition was enforceable, as long as we didn't wreck the country in the process." ... TS: "I think this is a posture that many American politicians have taken: 'I am waging a war on evil.' The Evil Empire--instead of Communism, we have heroin."
