Drugs have always been a huge problem in Mexico and many understand that much of the secret police and military are also involved in the drug cartels, both retired and active duty in Mexico. The corruption is so deep it is almost impossible to do anything but start over from scratch? Well in the current scheme of things and political climate there is indeed a fat chance of that happening anytime soon in Mexico. This issue recently came up in an online think tank, when one member, Swift from Montana stated; I have a great deal of difficulty with the idea that Vincente Fox would even consider doing this, especially looking at the violence drug cartels are exhibiting all over that country and particularly at our northern border. It is even more important that the US separate our selves from the nation of Mexico, when they behave badly. Indeed if Mexico legalizes drugs then they will be available right over the border and this will attract Drug Tourists from the United States to border towns in Mexico and thus will be very problematic for our enforcement agencies to stop cross border drug traffic or US citizen consumption once they cross the border. It is unfortunate to say the least that Mexico is considering this at all. Unbelievable in fact and it sure will cause problems with American Citizens and drug use at a time when we are busy spending taxpayers monies for rehabilitation, enforcement and education to stop drugs. Consider all this in 2006. |
