With few exceptions, such as Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, the militarization of the “war on drugs” is also starkly evident. The armed forces’ role in fighting narcotics – which has been ineffective in every country where it has been tried – is encouraged by a coercive, misguided, bipartisan US strategy.
除阿根廷、智利和乌拉圭等少数几个国家之外，另一个明显的趋势是“反毒品战争”的日益军事化。美国民主共和两党共同信奉的误导性高压政策鼓励了军队在反毒品斗争中作用的强化，而这种策略在曾经做过尝试的所有国家都没有得到很好的收效。
