Where blame lays

No, Craig, I didn't reinforce any point that you attempted to make. You choose to overlook the reality and instead adhere to the propagandist position that's been drummed into you. The whole issue of banned popular intoxicants in the world's largest market for those substances is based on lies and special interests and prejudice. Mexico's cartel leaders could just as easily be legitimate businessmen except for erroneous laws based on a failed policy. Mexico has a different set of priorities than the USA, and frankly, the USA's "war on drugs" is simply not one of them. In Mexico there is little popular support for the current path our president has embarked upon that strays from dealing with our core problems of public security, which has only worsened while battling cartels instead of the rest of the criminal element who affects our population much more directly. To put it simply, we have bigger fish to fry.
