Drugs ! Drugs ! nothing but drugs is the topic . The spread of this evil is unstoppable , or is it ? The reality is : it can't be stopped unless the DEMAND for drug is no more . The nations of the Pacific are confronted with the dilemma of how to cope with drug trafficking , and the treatment of the addicted among its populations . Only through boot camp style rehabilitation can those who are addicted have any chance of being rehabilitated . mean time everybody needs to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in detecting and clamping down on the distribution and manufacturing of these hazardous product . Pull out all the stops . the end justifies the mean in the war against drug . Unfortunately there are some within Government who runs with the hare and hunts with hound they too must be eradicated .
