Since the fall of the Berlin Wall cocaïne has taken the place of communism. In the name of world Health the U.S.A. now intervenes in Latin America to protect its own economic and strategic interests. The militarisation of the drug war has had no effect on the traffic : it has its main reason in the recycling of the Pentagon's material and making pay 40 years of investments in agencies. Secret services and advanced military technology that were made in the framework of the cold war. The opening up of the frontiers is in Europe what the fall of the Wall is to the U.S.A. : the drug war will make it possible to give new functions to services which had lost their usefulness. There again, the struggle against the traffic is less important than bureaucratic interests.
