The President of Mexico has an unfortunate message for Americans still ignorant of the Drug War’s cold realities: Some of your politicians are involved.
Yes folks, it is long-past time to start thinking about alternative strategies for combating both the harmful effects of drug addiction and the deadly effects of forcing an economy outside of the law.
“It is impossible to pass tons of drugs and cocaine to U.S. without some great complicity of some American authorities,” said Mexican President Felipe Calderone.
“There is traffic in Mexico because there is corruption in Mexico. And that is true. But with the same argument, if there is traffic in United States, it is because there is some corruption in United States.”
Nah!!! Say it ain’t so!!!
I dunno Sparky… there are drugs that are highly addictive and very destructive, and there are drugs that are relatively harmless and non-addictive. So maybe “good” and “bad” are not terms we should use with drugs, rather “more dangerous” and “less dangerous”. I’m in favor of legalizing the more harmless ones like pot, but not the more addictive ones like crack and heroin.
Everyone who’s in the ‘drug war’ game knows its bullshit. The whole thing a political exercise to win over the middle classes and justify more law enforcement, all the while taking drug money in the back door.
Wake up people. Corruption leading to drug illegality is the problem here. Plenty of folks getting rich off this and we voted for some of them.
The cure for cancer, the “war on drugs”, 100 mpg cars, alternative to oil, etc., too much cash flow to solve the probelm. Its all part of the curse we live in and under being creatures bound by time, sin, sickness, disease, and death.
Everyone should be forced to drink alcohol, eat meat or smoke pot. If you don’t do 2 of the three with witnesses you lose your citizenship.

“90% of guns used by the mexican drug cartels are coming from the US”
BULLSHIT!!!
This is a false fact created by the gun control lobby (Obama, Clinton, Feinstein) that gets repeated without verification by the media. Guns are coming from China, Venezuela and other second world governments. The guns used by the Mexican drug cartels are mostly FULL AUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPONS. You can’t buy these in the US without a very hard to get class III Firearms License.

They are coming for your guns. You better speak up or it will be too late.

Yeah, BillyBob, that’s what that guy said who killed three cops with his AK-47 the other day.
That must make you feel good, seeing someone stand up for his rights, eh?
@ Santa Maria,
A lot goes on that you do not know. Try not to be so ignorant of the truth. Maybe they are, Maybe they are not. But you have to learn that in the state of our world today it is not even close to trust people like you do. Or like you seem to be. Lastly, as you are slightly naive, and it seems hard to change your mind I say this, you may have as much trust in your country as possible. But “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”
