Drugs, Workers, and Capitalism

"Does anyone remember how Mexico came to have drug cartels? The US war on drugs decided to stop drugs coming into the US. It shut down the trans-Caribbean water routes. It was effective."

But now Venezuela is the cartel mecca, Dear Leader says. And our tax dollars, the fledgling Department of War, blew a boat out of the water without any definitive evidence of drugs aboard. However, you would never have 11 mules crowded in a drug boat, say experts, since it would limit available space for drugs, and limit profits per person. And the boat was too small to make it to America. Ahh, the Monroe doctrine, when logic fails. This could get ugly.
