What does Iraq have to do with the increasing carnage in Mehico?
If it makes you feel any better, Yes I did see what you did there, but that has nothing to do with Mehico!
I did, but let me speak plainly enough for you to understand. People are responsible for their own actions. Trying to shift any responsibility from those who actually pulled the triggers to peripherally connected persons is the same as me blaming Iraq War supporters for troop deaths. In the end, it is the person who pulled the trigger or blew themselves up who are to blame. They made the choice, not me, not you, to hurt another person.
Any person who supports personal responsibility can see that.
Even more responsible are the people who made those drugs illegal in the first place and those that fight to keep those absurd laws on the books.
right live and let die cuase if the drugs don't get you the life style will no doubt the way to live is to pull the curtain down hide in a corner and hope you don't get arrested for doing something stupid in the first place that you should be arrested for .,
we are responsible for each other Got it? Good no difference between the man in the street the man on the tv and the person next door they are all the say the are you as you are me and we are all together in the world where drugs smoked becomes a cloud in the sky of life.
right? but I think you are wrong because = live and let die means = if the drugs don't get you the life style will - doing drugs catches up to all of use at some various times in our lives what vice we choose is no doubt the way we could live by pulling the curtain down - hiding in a corner - and hoping you don't get arrested;(just typical drug behavior that most here have never experienced before or even knew occurred regularly in certain parts of the world) because if you/the drug user are doing something stupid in the first place that you should be arrested for that act as well as the use of drugs that make one ... unintelligent and yes Nonsensical.,
we(society as a whole is) are responsible for each other (society that is) Got it(do you understand what I am saying yet?) ? Good no difference between people living in the street or the people on the tv and or the person next door!!! As they are all the same as the are you, as you are me, and we are all together, in the world where => drugs used becomes a cloud in the eye of life's window to being here.

Your post is nonsensical.
Thanks but not necessary. You were comparing an illegal action with the legal war action.
Even the Big O's friend Chavez says it's the US drug users fault. What more do we need.
Some semblance of thought? Just because you don't approve of the actions of those who use drugs does not make the problem go away.
ahhhh war and legal? they just don't go together that well for me? war being the aaa government that we are to act like in the action of being self governing by a democracy of ? what fools that like "legal killings?" large scale? dag I always thought mushroom clouds came from those funny mushrooms we had a dinner when I was growing UP. don't make me pick my phone up .,

Let's turn that around. If drugs were legalized, wouldn't that also create an appeal? Legalizing drugs would appear to be advocating them.
For the most part the escalating violence is between drug dealers along the Mexican/U.S. border. The media has inflamed the situation, making many people believe that it's a wide spread problem throughout Mexico. One example was a reporter in the NYC area using a missing persons case from two years ago that was obviously not drug related to prove his point of how dangerous Mexico is. This has had the affect of reducing Mexican tourism which is the life blood of many towns in Mexico. I just returned from a vacation travelling across the Yucatan and my wife and I felt perfectly safe. Local, federal, and military police could be seen throughout the area. Unfortunately, even though it was spring break, there were not many tourists.
Our family went to Mexico two years ago for my brother's wedding. The travel agent warned us not to trust the police down there (as does the state department's own website). I'm sure they were just being paranoid.
That being said, the only trouble we ever had was at the airport in Cancun, with all those stupid idiots selling timeshares (they literally swarmed around us as we left).
Yes, the only irritation for us was a guy in Merida that wouldn't stop trying to get us to come to his shop and buy something. Finally we walked out of his "area" and he disappeared.
There's people like that all over, it seems...
Glad to hear that you felt you could trust the cops. Wasn't one of the links in this thread claiming that half of the Mexican police force is on the take, though?
I swear, whatever part of the Mexican economy isn't dedicated to drugs, must be timeshares. Fucking things were touted on billboards, in airports, I still wonder how people can be such utter dumbshits as to buy those things. Fortunately we were warned about the timeshare assholes as well...
I admit was nervous about being down there, but only because I had never been out of the country before in my life. I made sure my room (in the resort which we pretty much never left the whole time) had a safe so I would always know where my passport was.

I didn't have any interaction with local or federal police but driving across the Yucatan in a rental car on the new route 180, which is a major toll road, meant passing through a couple of military check points. Those guys were friendly and professional.
The local police we saw amounted to traffic cops at intersections. The federal police we saw were all driving new Dodge Chargers.
So you are saying that insurgents using suicide bombs is a legal war action?
And I didn't know that you were such a big Chavez follower.
