The U.S. represents a yearly $39 billion market for the drug cartels because an estimated 25 million Americans 12 and older consume some type of illegal drug, according to the Justice Department.
Hey, Alejandro, that's what Prohibition gets you, as the Justice Department knows.
Besides, Mexico is just as culpable in the current situation as Mexico signed onto the UN's drug treaties, which is the penultimate, unrecognized source of your feigned angst.

I don't think the author even wants an end to the WOD. He's just trying to put all of the blame on America. You're right though that the problem is prohibition, and that Mexico is run by commies that want to ban drugs and guns. It is one more example of a terribly run country.
