August 30, 2010 | Drug Dealers Love War on Drugs

The discovery of 72 mutilated bodies near San Fernando underlines just how bloody and pervasive the so-called war on drugs in Mexico has become. ++ The Mexican drug war is the direct result of the US spending “a fortune spraying carcinogenic chemicals over Columbia’s coca-growing areas.” ++ Known as the balloon effect, drug dealing simply shifts to another location, as long as

September 10, 2008 | Mexico's Disregarded War

A war very close to home should get more attention in the US: the one in Mexico. ++ Even if Americans soldiers are not among the casualties, US money and arms fuel this dispute. ++ Mexican President Calderón’s efforts to fight the drug syndicates have been rather ineffective so far, because he lacks reliable and well armed forces. ++ Congress announced to give $400 million in aid to the
