The US war on drugs and the US insatiable demand for said drugs has destabilized the entire region. Not something the US media likes to talk about though...

The only way to quash the cartels is lowering demand. But yeah that's too hard.

Yeah I agree, if we could kill off demand we'd be fine.

As I jokingly stated though, drugs sell themselves.

Education doesn't work either - look at the D.A.R.E. program.
