The traffickers are a link in the chain then it's kudos to their govt for taking the initiative to break that chain. Will this be enough of a deterrent to prevent any more attempt to smuggle drugs? I doubt it.

The difference between the 2 is by law we can do something about drugs, because we can't stop boozing doesn't mean we can't cut drug use.
I do agree that drug users with rare exceptions have only themselves to blame but unfortunately their habit often kills others as well.

Fair points, I suppose the point I was trying to make is just that these traffickers aren't personally killing anyone so even in an eye for an eye type justice system this seems wrong
