Drugs dealing and its effect on people and the community is like unto a plague of locusts wreaking devastation where ever it finds green pasture , unfortunately you can't control drug trafficking as one would a locust invasion so it's a curse that can't be destroyed completely till all of the world drug addict are no more . Governments can dish out stiff penalties even the death sentence , yet the dealing still goes on , why ? cause of the huge amount of money involved , people are willing to risk everything to be rich . Isn't that what's life's all about " easy money " For Tonga and the smaller island nations of the Pacific drug related crimes is on the rise and if not kept at bay it will destroy the life people had before this dross was washed ashore on these islands beaches . One would agree to use whatever means to combat this evil . The end justifies the means ?
