GLADBROOK, Iowa (AP) -- Republican presidential hopeful John McCain says the United States should step up it's war on drugs as part of efforts to secure the country's borders.

He says that's because Americans are to blame for -- quote -- "creating the demand" for illegal drugs that come into the country and give too much power to drug cartels that terrorize border areas.

He says drugs are powerful, and they are strong, and that they have taken over America's border cities.

He says that the United States is creating the demand. He says young Americans need to be told that the use of drugs is a terrible thing.
