The U.S. would be liberated from the parasites (drug addicts-assuming they eventually overdose and die) and our country would be a better place!<br /><br />People who choose to use drugs will use them regardless if it is legal or not.<br /><br />Alcohol wasn't always legal, and when it became legal it's not like the entire country died of alcohol poisoning...just those who didn't drink responsibly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-70646908226866080242010-06-11T16:37:05.523-06:002010-06-11T16:37:05.523-06:00The fact is that The Cartels and the Mexican army,...The fact is that The Cartels and the Mexican army, government, and police (State and Federal) are all one and the same. Elements of these groups are fighting each other for control of smuggling routes but overall, I doubt that Calderon will end this war without the support of Sinaloa, much like Cesar Gavira in Columbia had to play nice with the Cali Cartel. <br /><br />The U.S. will NEVER legalize any drugs beyond marijuana. The only thing that will stabilize Mexico would be an increase in its private sector i.e. more jobs that pay a living wage. Too many foreign companies have come in and exploited the cheap labor of Mexican workers only to leave when other countries like China are willing to work for even less that the Mexicans. I see no reason that the citizens should not be entitled to more of the profits from the drug trade because the CEO's of Halliburton, Exxon and BP are starting to look very similar to Lazcano, Guzman, and Fuentes, they take a whole lot of money but leave very little for the common man. That much money is obsceneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-78855877185208908342010-06-11T15:04:44.686-06:002010-06-11T15:04:44.686-06:00This violence will never end until all drugs are l...This violence will never end until all drugs are legalized. If the drugs were legal then they would be grown and sold locally and not only would a billion dollar industry be born but the violence and drug smuggling days would be over. You cannot wipe out all of the drug addicts so there will always be a demand for drugs. The government can say only those that are 18 or 21 can buy drugs from the "drug stores" just like how they do with cigarettes and liquor. If someone is dumb enough to take drugs when there is information on the drugs that state that they are highly addictive and will kill you then it is that persons problem. For too long many people have suffered in developing countries including Mexico because of drug production and smuggling and there is no other realistic way to deal with this issue then to simply make it legal. I understand that many will be shocked by this, but realisticly think about what I am saying and tell me if you can think of any other way to solve this. For all of the drug lords Mexican military kills or imprisons, there are plenty of other drug lords waiting to fill their spots. All of these efforts seem like flees a fart in a hurricane.

So, the solution? Well, may be this is "wishful" thinking as well, but the Zetas and CDG should just reconcile already! That would bring peace to our local bordertowns and wouldn't their combined skills (if you can even call them skills) benefit each others' groups? I'm just saying. If they were really smart, they wouldn't call in outsiders (which brings the risk of being overtaken by them and would cause even more chaos) and realize they are better of (and the rest of us too!) working together.<br /><br />organized crime with peace is WAY BETTER than organized crime with no peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
