Dear clamboslice, your stupidity knows no boundaries, or shame, as its usually the case with ignorant people.

While is true that Mexico has a ton of social issues the particular issue of drugs is an American responsibility.

Mexicans, despite all their problems, are not drug addicts, and they do not constitute a significant market. The United States of America in the other hand is the biggest narcotic market in the face of the Earth.

Indeed, Mexicans are fighting an American war, as it is the US' policy that creates an illegal narcotic market while the populations demands drugs.

Moreover, your whole argument ignores the empirical evidence, during the prohibition in the United States. Gangs that illegally sold and traded Alcohol didn't have any issues finding people to support them, was it because of the United States poor social conditions? I highly doubt it.

By your pathetic use of the word socialism, it's indeed very likely that you're a market fundamentalist, if you are, then you should know well in advance that the monetary incentives generated by a big market with plenty of demand (and relatively low supply) are more than enough to recruit troops.

In summary, you're an idiot that overestimates its intellectual capacity, as it's often the case with incompetent people, in fact, it has a name: The Dunning–Kruger effect.

Really great video. It's sad to learn about all of that violence in Mexico, but I'm not surprised that the US is behind it all. Not to mention Fast and Furious

nothing new here, we all know this...I am always marvelled when they say the cartels earn "between 18 and 40 million dollars a year" or whatever the stats are....there is an enormpous unknonwn factor..

thanks, dick nixon and all you profiteers, for the might War on drugs!!...thanks, mexico, for playing along so that you get your annual money stipend from the USA government to 'join the fight'

thank you for this video displaying a schizophrenic American policy. One would have to be extraordinarily naive to think this Billion $$ market doesn't have equal counterparts including banks in the US. Just think $$$ in untaxed dollars.
