Mexicans take over drug trade to US
With Colombian cartels in shambles, Mexican drug lords run the show.
CIUDAD JUÁREZ, MEXICO – The kingpins of this hemisphere's drug trade are no longer Colombians.In the largest reorganization since the 1980s, senior US officials say, Mexican cartels have leveraged the profits from their delivery routes to wrest control from the Colombian producers.
"Profits"? Who you kidding?
Hint to Columbians: Get a globe.
Hint #1 to Bush: Supply and demand. Too much demand creates too much supply.
Hint #2 to Bush: 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prisoners yet drug demand on the rise. If more incarceration isn't the answer, might more jobs be?
