As the war against drugs must go...
Fight the buyers, not the producers. Make the purchase of Equatorian silver an international criminal offence and it's buyers, dealers in stolen goods. No buyers, no producers. And thugs like Morales will think twice before stealing other's investments.
Problem is, there too many thiefs out there that will still buy stolen property...So Morales and moral, are two very very distant things.
