A drug problem in this country? Who knew?Today's NY Times reports that Mexico is being torn apart by drug trafficking fueled mainly by American drug addicts.
Where's the surprise here. Our economy is in the crapper. American's are losing jobs at a significant rate, knee-deep in debt encouraged by Bush administration, and GWB made a clean get-away prosecution-free.
Consequently, the collective American behavior points in the direction of what is typical of disoriented, and depressed people do...anesthesize with reckless behavior, and even the extreme, suicide (we've seen news of those too).
So yes, drug trafficking in Mexico will continue to be a expansive problem as long as the supplies are available (drugs and guns), the demands will be met, if the monetary returns show more promise than what this country's retirement funds and health care benefits are willing to provide to American citizens.
Not rocket science NYT.
