Jamaica's economy is based solely on tourism. Ads run on TV with the sleepy calypso soundtrack encouraging "Let's get together and be alright". Now the US war on drugs has turned Kingston into a modern day Tombstone. The war on drugs has spent millions of taxpayers dollars with no effect on the flow of drugs. Our prisons are crammed full with drug convicts but our streets remain full of replacements. I have no idea how the situation will be resolved in Jamaica but the rest of Caribbean will undoubtedly blame the deaths and injuries on the US.
