    I don't know why the Mexican leadership don't just accept that their tactics aren't working. All it's doing is turning the country into a war zone.

    there needs to be heavy military actions against the cartels and their manufacturing plants and the growing areas.

    Hey Godfather- I'm just curious..... why do you always post negative comments/articles about Mexico and subjects related to Mexicans? I'm just curious......

    Also, did you see the article I posted about FOX and it's viewers?

    One of the U.S.'s largest trade partners, Mexico attracted $14 billion in foreign direct investment in the year's first nine months, up 20% from a year ago, according to government figures. And some of Mexico's biggest investors, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., are maintaining their investment plans.

    after re-reading the article, it looks as if mexico's loss is our gain. the company went to tennessee instead of mexico, so that should make some of us happy, maybe some jobs created?

    That's correct.

    Also, the US Military is the finest/most powerful military in the world, yet they seem to be having some difficulties in Afghanistan- Mexico's military can't even be mentioned in the same sentence as the US military...and Mexico is probably 5 times bigger then Afghanistan - that's just one part of the problem.

    Some of Mexico's top drug lords made Forbes billionaire list, another problem.

    There are some solutions, but I think the US and other large consuming country's will have to do more to help Mexico. The Cartels aren't controlling Mexico, but they do have a lot of muscle and can significantly disturb Mexico's business.

    why?







    if you legalize these drugs, you take the power away from the cartels, no need for violence.

    and if we legalized them then we would have to try to justify the trillions of dollars spent on the war on drugs the last 28 years and admit it for the sham that it was/is...

    the question for the government is "is it better to legalize them and maybe alleviate some of the problems, or keep them illegal to save face?"
