Lets talk specifically about Marijuana prohibition.

One of the major differences between those who made liquor during prohibition (who were mostly family farmers who needed to make money during the depression) was they were not criminals (although criminals supplied the liquor once it was made into the cities).

One of the biggest reasons you can't just legalize pot, is because the suppliers and the growers are on the whole criminal operations. If yah legalized it, do those suppliers and growers suddenly become Legitimate?

That's all a nice little mealy mouthed way of saying we should just legalize drugs because "we can't" fight the cartels and that is something neither I nor most Americans will accept. If it takes a presence equal to that of Afghanistan, then it should be our next priority if the killings continue.

I think you have idea that the cartels have some disciplined army at their disposal...that they have some will to fight a protracted war with us if it actually comes to open warfare.

One thing we have never done is demoralize them, terrorize them, and exterminate them. I don't care if we do it with bombs, I don't care if we do it with swat teams, I don't care if we do it with little assasinations here and there. All that I care is that we do it. There are so many options at our disposal that I cannot fathom rolling over on our backs and allowing their trade to continue unimpeded by simply legalizing their trade.

If we do legalize their trade, what do you think their response is going to be? Do you think they are gonna just let little shops open and cut into their profit? Do you think they won't attempt to intimidate and extort and control the growing industry that results? I mean, you seem to think there's this vast network of 100k soldiers working for them, all sitting in little holes just ready to pounce...what makes you think they wont be used to strong arm businesses?

No, we attack ruthlessly and at every opportunity. Make it a mark of misfortune for anyone to be tied to them. You can cry legalize it all you want but in the end these thugs understand violence and that's how they should be responded to.

But also what do you do when the criminals do not care for human life? Now that all of a sudden it is legal, will that make killers into non-killers? Those killers are a product of where they grew up, and many of them will not stop killing until they are killed or in prison.

Yo entiendo que va hacer muy dificil. Pero hay que usar intelligencia cuando pelias algo como los narcos. Por eso yo creo que debemos de preguntar para ayuda de los gringos. Que nos mande soldados de las esforcias especiales que tienen la experiencia para peliar los narcos.

Tambien es tiempo que Mexico usar el dinero que ganan de Pemex para comprar armas modernas. Y probalamente tambien necesitan comprar avionas que no tienen mas de 40 anos. Deben de comprar algunos avionos como los Migs o Su de rusia, los avionos son baratos y tambien buenos. Pero es una cosa terible que la militar de mexico no tiene nada bueno para sus soldados.
