What is your definition?
The military approach is good at increasing the price of the drugs, keeping the money flowing through illegal channels encouraging organized crime in the US, Africa, Asia and South American, and preventing the money from being taxed. And the military approach isn't working. THey would be much better treating drugs like they do cigarettes and getting a cut of the take. And offering drug addicts help instead of jail.

Yep. And based on some recent reading, the arms we give or sell to the Mexican police end up in the hands of the drug gangs anyway. It's creating a whole new security nightmare along our border. Our tax dollars are funding it. At some point in the next year, I expect to hear some of our elected morons yelling about how we need to continue "the wall". Both expenditures will continue: The arms to the south, and the building of the wall. 20 years from now, we'll find out that the contractors for the wall were some senator's relatives.
