More U.S. aid is the answer. After all, if we can spend 10 billion a month in Iraq we can surely find a few billion a year for our southern neighbor.:lol:

Let's see what the $400 Million from the Merida Initiative adds to the situation:

U.S. Gives Mexico Anti-Drug Funding

EXCERPT:

"...Ninety percent of all the cocaine consumed in the United States is believed to reach the country via Mexico.

President Felipe Calderon, has long sought, and been promised, financial aid from Washington to try to defeat the traffickers.

The initiative is part of a $1.6bn (£1.1bn) US plan to help train and equip security forces and strengthen justice systems in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

The aid has been held up for months, partly because US legislators were concerned that the money might end up in the hands of corrupt Mexican officials.

None of the $197m which has just been released will be in the form of cash.
Instead equipment is being provided to enable American and Mexican law enforcers to work more closely together..."
