If a cartel is knocked out, another will form as long as the the US needs the supply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-47803446500702356842009-01-11T10:07:00.000-06:002009-01-11T10:07:00.000-06:00Az,What a weird analogy and nothing like this one....Az,<BR/>What a weird analogy and nothing like this one. There is no scapegoating of innocents here.<BR/><BR/>The reality is the US is number 1 in drug use. We do have drug czars, drug cartels who order the amount of drugs into our country from the international groups who can get it here at the lowest prices.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-44154531125202691802009-01-10T17:27:00.000-06:002009-01-10T17:27:00.000-06:00This logic reminds me of a pedophile making a stat...This logic reminds me of a pedophile making a statement after being convicted on 23 various counts:<BR/><I>"I myself am a victim. I am a victim of a society that allows young girls to run around unattended. I am a victim to the clothing industry that makes these provocative clothes for these beautiful young women (BTW, his victims were 5-12yo's).

Chemicals for the production of methampetamine should be tightly controlled. So many children's lives are being destroyed by this easy to make drug.ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-51986898052853366662009-01-10T09:26:00.000-06:002009-01-10T09:26:00.000-06:00Ulty, In the meantime we have to do something abou...Ulty, <BR/>In the meantime we have to do something about the Drug Wars in the Border Towns. So many innocent people are dying. What about the drug lords on our side, the recipients? Shouldnt they be captured and the drug money used to stop the Border murders?Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-64172801954687452122009-01-09T22:44:00.000-06:002009-01-09T22:44:00.000-06:00It seems a little unlikely that most Americans do ...It seems a little unlikely that most Americans do not already understand our culpability in all this. They understand that without buyers the trade would dry up. Pretty simple when you think about it.<BR/><BR/>One of the roadblocks is Mexico's law against capital punishment. They could take a page out of Singapore's playbook and start summarily executing drug lords, an eye for an eye as it were. <BR/><BR/>It's like a lot of other crimes that require various degrees of harshness to find a solution. Singapore is essentially drug free.ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.com
