President Bush said the United States will continue to attack the demand side of the international drug problem. But he also called for more cooperation and greater effort by countries most concerned with the supply side of the problem. Eradication of drug producing crops, stepped-up 1nterdiction efforts, more cooperation in detecting and seizing drug traffic revenues and better intelligence are needed to stop the deadly flow of illicit drugs. "If we do not work together," President Bush said, "the traffickers will destroy us separately." President Bush also stressed that the fight against drugs must always conform to democratic principles. "None of us wants a drug-free dictatorship," he said. We must protect the human and civil rights of our citizens. We are all committed to defending democracy and its principles as we defeat the scourge of drugs." NNNN .
