To the ruthlessness of it: violence begets violence. The druglords have been pushing this for a long time. They made their bed, now time to sleep in it. As awful as it is, perhaps a few dead wives and kids will be what it takes to convince the rest of the drug runners to take a look at their family and stop. Yeah, it's terrible. Nothing nice about war though. It's not romantic.
But you know, I think that despite our long time grievances with Mexico, it would do both of us a favor for that country to turn it's self around. I would love to visit there, but not with the amount of violence and corruption that is going on there. They have made themselves a country where life has little meaning. No wonder they risk life and limb to get to the US. I would do the same to save my family.
Another problem though is with our country. All these asshole drug users. Just can't be happy unless they are pumping some sort of chemical in their systems. I would go all MAC-V on the US drug users if I could. Think of it: intercept the drugs at the border, spray that shit with really nasty stuff. You know, makes your balls drop off, instant cancer, death. Hell, in about one week, the only thing people are doing is drinking PBR and smoking some home grown. <span style="color: #CC0000"> Drug cartels out of business</span> and then we can start making most of our imported good in Mexico again. Every has a good decent job, and American still get their imported junk at a good price. And to top it off, Red China can eat a dick.
Wow, that was a tangent!! </div></div>
I appreciate you sentiment, MM, but that would only be a little burp for the cartels. They, like all large corporations, have diversified. I remember a story a couple of years ago: They had tapped into one of the PeMex (Petroleum Mexico, the national oil producer) pipelines and were stealing massive quanties of oil, then trucking it to Houston to sell to refineries. Some big US corporate official went ot jail over it. Take away the drugs and they would just swith to something else. These guys are below garbage. They make Al Capone and his type look like choirboys. Extermination is the only solution, and that cant happen because they are like the hydra; cut off one head and ten grow back. I dont see a real end unless the people take it into their own hands like they are in Guerrero.
