Former president eschews U.S. policies


Former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso told Reuters yesterday that Latin America needs to step away from failing U.S. anti-drug policies.

Regional cooperation, changing public attitude and new policies are better ways to fight the narcotics trade, he said, than leaning on the United States.

Constant narcotics trade and international drug networks are maintaining the drug business.

Cardoso spoke during the Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy.
