Ben, I have a single question for you. At the bottom

Set-up...
My entire life, I have watched the "social scientists" in colleges give reasons why criminals are predetermined by genetics and background.
I don't argue with that. I think that there is truth in it. But at what point do you draw a line? (rhetorical question)

The actual question...
Drugs are headed into the United States every day, that kill people.
In my wife's small town in Iowa, her brother got mixed up with the town druggie...and ended up with with psychosis and then killing himself. 6 children in the family. 1 got deep into drugs and it ended his life.

THE QUESTION FOR BEN,
There were boats headed to the USA stocked with drugs that would have likely resulted in deaths in the US.

Is it a better solution to try to capture them and understand the root causes that led these boaters to a life of criminal activity?...
or
Is it better to blow them out of the water, and the dying that those drugs would have caused...never happened?

Awaiting your reply,

Marty
