Can anyone say the War on Drugs is working? Is it reasonable to think drugtrafficking can be terminated while demand runs endlessly? Is it even possible supply and demand have no correlation? Can one country fight a war for two independent countries?
I pray daily for a war with Mexico. Mexicans are a disgraceful people who have an even more disgraceful government. Let them fight their own drug war. I dare those cartels to even try coming HERE.America needs to nuke Mexico and take over the oil wells. Making Cancun American soil would be nice too.

Is it possible for a human being to be so intellectually challenged that spewing the above quote would actually make sense? My response to Anonymous in Indianapolis is: “Wipe the blow off your nose and open your eyes..”
Ever see the Brad Pitt movie Babel? It’s a sad reality, our lives intersect in ways we may never consider. I agree, YOU have a right to your recreational vices, but it’s come down to the point where your weekend blow and weed fix has trumped MY rights, that I have a problem with. You’re taking MY right to raise my children in a safe and secure environment. You may very well, at any given time, take MY very right to live. Are you starting to see the big picture? My Drug War is Your drug War.
It’s so easy to sit and judge someone and their efforts, especially when one doesn’t own a mirror. Is it bloody here? Yes, of course there's blood. Is it lawless? No! Do we have soldiers patrolling cities? Yes, thank you very much. You see, we can’t completely stop YOU from getting what you want, no matter how many lives we sacrafice, but we can slow the process and break down the nuclei. I find it incredible the U.S. has the technology to spot a pimple on a mole’s ass in Taiwan, but can’t spot narco tunnels built into their own territory and used to recieve drugs from Mexico and supply arms to Mexico. Where are YOUR efforts? Do you think their is no corruption in America? Do you think billions of tons of illegal drugs have been simply waiting until nightfall and sneaking over your well protected borders for decades? Once they are covertly crossed the border do the tons of drugs grow feet and begin to self distribute across your country? Where does YOUR responsibility lie?
Plan Mexico is not a plan, it’s a farce. We are fighting a war for both countries. How many Plans do you need to try before learning: There is not an amount of money in this world that can genuinely stop supply to demand, especially when there is no true interest in stopping it; simple economics. As for Anonymous in Indianapolis’ wish to see the cartels try to enter the U.S.: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

This isn’t a game, Anonymous. I could easily wish for the U.S. to fight their own drug war, let them deal with the cartels, but seeing your country being crushed with narco-violence, would not release ours. To open the newspaper and see your police and soldiers tortured, gutted, and decapitated would not resurrect ours. To know your citizens were also being extorted, kidnapped, and at times caught in cartel crossfire would not avenge ours. You see Anonymous, you're not seeing reality.
The truth is, our efforts and the lives of our people are the only thing stopping you from getting your wish, Anonymous. Believe it or not, there are many who still believe this war can be won, with or without YOUR help. There are still men and women in Mexico, amongst our disgusting people and our disgusting government as you tenderly put it, that are willing to bet their lives on their hope for a safer world for you and I.
It is the efforts of all those disgusting Mexicans, who have placed their lives on the line battling cartels, that has allowed you to smoke/snort/inject, and swallow every and any illegal drug you wish and never see a drop of blood on your pompous, ignorant hands; Be thankful.
Blame games have got to end. Egotistical ignorance and false pride must be converted into united, educated efforts. Finger pointing must be replaced with self evaluation, failed strategies and antiquated stances must be transformed, and lastly Anonymous, eyes must be opened, on both sides of the border.
