Global Pulse – 08/07/08: Border Drug War


 

Global Pulse – 08/07/08: Border Drug War – (August 7, 2008) While the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan dominate most war news coverage, there is another war raging much closer to the United States. The Mexican police and army are waging a battle against the cash rich and weapons-heavy drug cartels with 2008 being one of the bloodiest years to date. While US news usually portrays the confrontations as a Mexican problem threatening to move north, Latin news sources paint a picture of US demand driving the cartels to do whatever it takes to move the drugs north.

  • ronaldmigahil says:

    This? is only possible thanks to the gentle economic contribution of million of drug addicts, that finance these cartels with their addiction. If only there was a Universal Health Entity to provide for free, drugs to addicts, this CHAOS in Mexico will never happen!! It is time to consider DRUG ADDICTS responsible of all the related? violence generated by DEMAND on DRUGS!!

    Lol you act like the English are the only ones who speak poorly of the US. I think the only people who speak highly or well of Americans are the very Americans who, in fact, are causing problems, for both others and themselves.

    Relevant word of the day:
    Narcissism– self-love: an exceptional? interest in and admiration for yourself; “self-love that shut out everyone else”

    BBC can blow me long and hard. As far as they are concerned the USA is the problem for everything. I say let them hang out there on their own and see if they don’t get crushed without the support of the USA by another country. Way to keep stabbing your friends in the back. Sick of? hearing anti American stuff from the Brits.
