US voices concern over Bolivia poll outcome

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will evaluate its relations with
Bolivia after this Sunday's election, where the front-runner has pledged
to legalize the coca leaf if elected, the State Department said on
Thursday.
U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Washington had long
supported the current Bolivian government's counter-narcotics policy and
hoped a new government would have the same approach.
"We expect whatever government comes next in Bolivia to honor those
commitments that they have made to fight the production and transport of
illegal drugs," he told a news briefing.

Now, it seems to me that the Bolivians would not have a problem with
illegal drug if they legalized the drugs. They have no drug problem,
they have an organized crime problem resulting from our American drug
problem. Perhaps it's time we looked closer to home for the solution to
our drug problem, rather than beating up ther rest of the world for
supplying what we're buying.
