I've read that one of the reasons, perhaps the biggest, that Calderon went after the cartels in 2006 was that the narco leaders were so popular
because of their "generosity" that people were electing them to local political offices, especially in Michoacan, Calderon's home state. That was too
much for Calderon and caused him to pull the trigger, so to speak. |
Where did you read Calderon, went after the cerels in 2006 because the narco leaders were so popular?Alex Jones, "Inforwars" perhaps?
Well, Calderon's home state was certainly ground zero against the Mexican cartels, I doubt that's the real reason why Calderon declare war on the
cartels.
I think it's the same tired reason why Nixon declared "war on drug" it's a ultraconservative argument, or in the case in Mexico, Neoliberalism, free
markets, multinationals, cracking heads, mass jailing, cutting off the head of the snakes, and thinking killing or jailing a drug kingpin will win
the war on drug, as well as other old and tired methods to fight the flow of drugs.
How about "Plan Mexico" and Plan Columbia, and the shared solution, between Mexico and the USA where millions flow to Mexico, and Mexican
politicians, so they could buy nice expensive toys like helicopters, to fight the drug war, where all that money returns to the US defense
corporations, while the endless drug war continues.
Plan Columbia, didn't work very well in Columbia, and only helped shift the problem to Mexico. Damn America!
As long as Americans have an insatiable appetite for drugs, and the US provides most of weapons to Mexico, the Mexican drug cartels, will continue
falling all over themselves to serve the junkies in the USA, because many Americans, need to numb themselves to live and work in the US.
