Dude, wow, I was poking fun at the typo.
LOL I know
Mathematics of the universe...crack at a gas station...I wasn't trying to seriously make the point math professors see crack users as competition

It really doesn't matter what the attitude of the U.S. is...change that as much as you want but so long as drugs are illegal those policies will cause violence. If you think the ideology of western culture i.e. propensity to stick drugs up their nose, can be changed..well don't hold your breath..
Could the violence really get much worse in Mexico anyway? They might threaten to kill more people if drugs were legalized but they kill a metric shit ton anyway..that doesn't really count as leverage. Besides to get cartel members to run around killing their countryman takes money, you can't get the footsoldiers to commit murder if you can't pay them.
Take away the cartels main source of income they die. They would no longer have the ability to purchase the corruption which creates the power vacuum enabling them to kidnap and traffic humans. Take police and military off the payroll and they'll quickly quit looking the other way.
Mexicans want jobs, they want safety..but those goals can't compete with black market drug profits.
We dealt with the exact same situation in the 20-30s, the violence decreased overnight when alcohol was legalized.
The U.S. government doesn't run a profit off the drug war exactly...they run a huge loss, but then that's the point. Create the problem and then create giant self sustaining bureaucracies to deal with it.
FACT: ONE PERSON IN DRUG REHAB ORDERED BY COURTS IS A COST OF 12000.00 for one person! NOT PROFITING OKAY THEN JUST JUSTICE SYSTEM ROBBING ADDICTS OF MEXICAN CHEMICAL WAR!!! It totally is insult to us citizens that get trapped in their sick disgusting drugs they since forever have brought to their people! ARE YOU JUST BLIND OR ALSO PART OF THE HERD??????????????GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE MAKING IDIOTIC VIEWS THAT YOU HAVN'T GOT CLUE ON!!!!!!!!!!! UM KAY!

US-trained cartel terrorizing northern Mexico

I think this is front page worthy. I noticed nobody's posted this yet.
So they trained 500 guys here in the US, "to fight narcotics", then they go work for the gulf cartel, then split off and kill all the other cartels? crazy![]()
yes, everything is a big conspiracy. I think your on to something re-tard. keep up the good work lol
I think the point needs to be made that the U.S. exports flawed prohibition drug policy to other countries while being the largest consumer of drugs.
We are the root cause of the entire problem. Every death in Mexico over drugs is our fault and whether we trained the killers or not is semantics.
If we didn't force everyone in the world to keep drugs illegal and sustain our own absurdly lucrative black market drugs would cause the same amount of violence as bananas or tobacco.
Considering our experience with the prohibition of alcohol resulted in the invention of organized crime we should know better than anyone the severe damage to society prohibition directly causes. This is a black and white issue. American citizens are bear more responsibility for drug violence and the negative effect of impure black market product than any other country.
America has completely ruined Mexico. The corruption they suffer is created by insane trillions of dollars in black market profits. The opportunity to get a piece of those trillions is a motivation no amount of government intervention will ever overcome.
so we tried to help them better do their jobs, in a way that would also help save lives of their soldiers, a noble and self less goal, that cost us time and money, so we are not the bad guys here.
this is truly what you believe? do you believe that officials in government believe that the drug war is the "right thing to do", and that is one of their primary motives? honestly curious. (this may make a good poll question? )so we tried to help them better do their jobs, in a way that would also help save lives of their soldiers, a noble and self less goal, that cost us time and money, so we are not the bad guys here.
