LOL, these guys still don't get it.
It wasn't pointless at all.
Its point was to extort funding from governments for the Military/Law Enforcement/Private Prison industries.
The other point was to create a scarcity market that allowed intelligence agencies to generate huge amounts of profits outside of their official government budgets that could be used for activities outside of congressional oversight.
Horrible points, to be sure, but they were points for the creepy spooks, politicians and LEOs who drive the drug war agenda.
