This situation will continue to spiral out of control until a point of critical mass is reached, such as an open and all-out civil war

There is already civil war in Mexico, the press just doesn't call it that. I can visualize the Mexican gov't declaring a total state of emergency and requesting US troops to help stamp out the cartels. Of course, coke-sniffing Obama won't do it. McCain might, but probably not.
Hmm, would Sarah P? These are not the scenarios I advocate, but rather the scenarios events seem to be leading us into. I'd rather legalize pot and deal harshly with the white drugs. Mixing a harmless herb with narcotics enforcement is S T U P I D !!

I agree with pretty much all that you “Republican’’ but to leave any other drug prohibited is still leaving the criminal element something to profit from. As I said, in Mexico’s case, being such a corrupted society, it might be too far gone even for legalization. And think of the powerful people, banks, and other institutions that are making a fortune off the money. They won’t want to give that up. And whatever happened to Phillipe Calderon? He’s probably hiding in fear for his life.
