This is sort of off subject from the article but.... People say the drug war is in part because of Calderon's pressure on the cartels and war on drugs, however now it seems it does not matter who becomes president or what thier stance on the drug war is because there is so much inter catel quarels that regardless of military police pressure the cartels will continue to battle right?
ReplyDeleteViolence, fear, blood shed, & terror will always exist as long as drugs and money are involed. It really doesn't matter if they fight amongst themselves or fight other cartels. Also, it's doubtful that legalization of controlled substances will do anything to end the violence in Mexico.
DeleteAmerica needs to fix itself if it wants to lessen the violence in Mexico and abroad. A grass roots campaign is needed to enforce the dangers of using illegal narcotics. Parents who use will inevitably have kids who use; this in turn fuels the demand for illegal narcotics & subsequent violence. Offering tax based incentives as motivation to keep the public off of illegal drugs is one approach. Enforcing stricter anti-drug policies at places of employment is another. You fix the foundation, and the home becomes structurally sound.
DeleteHow many more times will these idiots attack the Mexican Army, with small arms no less..... These cartel members have balls that are bigger than their brains.
ReplyDeleteFor a country that makes gun possesion a crime,Huge signs at the border guns/ammo jail, It is so strange to hear of all the shooting. DON'T THEY KNOW IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO HAVE GUNS and AMMUNITION? IDIOTS Good work Army,love the line that 5 were killed"at the hands of the Army" damn that Military murdering poor misunderstod criminols,we know all they need is counceling.
ReplyDeleteit's becoming a little bit boring:
ReplyDelete10 people killed here,
12 people killed there,
20 beheadings here,
30 rapes there,
............
yawn
let's wait for something spectacular
like for example, "members of cartel XY
beheaded themselves and then raped their
mamitas"
EVERYBODY HAVE DIFERENT IDEAS TO END THE DRUGWAR IN MEXICO BUT THE BEST SOLUTION DAMMIT EASY JUST STOP USING DRUGS WHEN WE STOP USING THAT CRAP THE CARTELS DONT GONNA HAVE A MARKET AND I M SURE THEY BECAME A HANDYMANS OR FARMERS
ReplyDeleteLos carteles ya no viven de la venta de droga. Viven de secuestro, extosion y cuotas
DeleteI'm surprised that they don't leave car bombs timed to go off after the authorities are on the scene investigating the dead bodies in the car used to attract them.

ReplyDeleteThat's right, their feuds began before Calderon's move to put army on streets and it haven't slowed down their war between cartels.
They say war is abot to really kick in. Golfos in laredo. And Monterrey feels hot and tense. This sucks. I guess there is pedo in miguel aleman too mantas. Let the rats kill eachother, or el ejercito exterminate them.
ReplyDeleteCuidado Cerralvo, NL ya llego el CDG otra veZ puta Zorraz. Asi komo En Nuevo Laredo ya empesamos la guerra kontra un Mundo sin Z - Chavo

ReplyDeletees cierto así es como obtienen dinero para comprar armas y para financiar la guerra contra otros carteles its true that cartels get money for kidnap and extortion and they charge all business for protection.
