Every once in while I complain about this and no one listens So Ill Just consildate my bitching to this thread.

The El Paso Times also has very good articles.

I'm surprised and disturbed that HChron has nothing despite the fact that Houston is the ultimate end game for these cartels.

The best thing we can hope for is that the Mexican army kills every last one, but since that's unlikely one can only hope the more old school cartels destroy the zeta and we can go back to doing this thing the old faishioned way.

Ya kill them all. Maybe then I'll get something more then Mexican brick weed around here. That stuff sucks.

This will one day be the backdrop of a great movie and then several mediocre follow-ups.

Bad rules create havoc and misery. Give me control of the national guard and i could sort out the problem in a matter of months (with the close cooperation of the mexican goverment) It would of course involve me executing elected officials until I came across one with a sensible drug policy but then with cooperation of the mexicans you could have the problem sorted in no time...

Of course its much more politically acceptable to fiegn caring whilst all along ignoring that the war around drugs causes hundreds if not thousands more times damage than the actual drugs themselves... of course it is a scary thought that some rich white kid could go and just purchase any drug he wanted, not that its any different to now, but I always feel alot better when thier lives are at risk of being destoryed and costing the taxpayers thousands...

I think I managed to be pretty bitchy there...

This reminds me of a brief part in the BBC “Tropic of Cancer” series (the very first episode) in which Simon Reeve had an interview with a local officer. And the recently confiscated armory contents... (porcelain tipped bullets that will go straight through the armor worn by the Mexican military)...

Porcelain bullets? Never heard of those - any links? It seems bothersome since steel bullets will pierce most armor.

One day we'll legalize pot and hopefully decriminalize drug use and end the cause of this madness. Until then I hope we can at least contain the violence to outside of the US.

This is just your narrow French perspective. Leave talking about Mexico to Mexicans and their Texan neighbours.
