Charles Bowden is a very smart person, but comparing the Mexican Drug War to the Vietnam War is absolutely ridiculous. In Bowden eyes, “It’s turned into a War by the Mexican government against the Mexican people”.

According to United Nations organized crime adviser Edgardo Buscaglia, Mexican cartels need to be stop being categorized as drug organizations as the DEA wants them to be, for their very own self-interest as their simple existence to fight drugs. Throughout Mexico, these criminal organizations also commit 25 other types as crimes, such as kidnapping, extortion, etc… In it’s true sense, the “War on Drugs” is a failed US policy thats been going on for over 40 years while the Mexico is dealt with its very own war against organized crime which morph from the failed US policy.

I saw this video on youtube and thought it was really kool.
