I would legalize drugs, this would do several things;

1 Raise money for public works, health care, etc.

2 Starve the Mexican and Columbian drug lords.

3 Bankrupt the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Anyone who wants to fry his brain on coke or meth is perfectly free to do so, drugs would be so cheap that they would not need to steal to support their habit.

Pushers would no longer have a profit motive to get young people hooked on drugs so eventually the market would dry up except perhaps for marijuana for people with terminal illnesses.

Drug war solved.
