EL PASO - Mexico is one of two countries that "bear consideration for a rapid and sudden collapse," according to a report by the U.S. Joint Forces Command on worldwide security threats. The command's Joint Operating Environment report, puts Pakistan on the same level as Mexico.
"The Mexican government, its politicians, police and judicial infrastructure are all under sustained assault and press by criminal gangs and drug cartels. Any descent by Mexico into chaos would demand an American response based on the serious implications for homeland security alone."
What’s the right US response to this threat?
A. Send more tourists
B. Send the army
C. Legalize drugs
If you guessed C, you’re thinking logically. The cost of the drug war isn’t just the millions of people in prison, the cost of police, or the congestion of the court system. The real cost of the drug war is that it transfers billions of dollars from middle class American consumers to the most vicious terrorist gangs in the world. Then we have to spend billions more in tax dollars to fight them. Read the story.
