The Guardian and The Observer had a string of articles over the weekend of the 6th September 2009. An editorial in the Observer implied support for legalisation via a move to harm reduction policies. It denounced the current approach of prevention based on morality. It pointed out the inconsistency of alcohol and tobacco being legal despite being more harmful than marijuana and ecstacy.

The Clash of Civilisations - Huntingdon

From Wikipedia The Clash of Civilizations is a theory, proposed by political scientist Samuel P. Huntington, that people's cultural and religious identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post-Cold War world.

The theory was originally formulated in a 1992 lecture[1] at the American Enterprise Institute, which was then developed in a 1993 Foreign Affairs article titled "The Clash of Civilizations?",[2] in response to Francis Fukuyama's 1992 book, The End of History and the Last Man. Huntington later expanded his thesis in a 1996 book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. . (more)
