GLOBAL PULSE: The Drug War vs The War on Drugs (4/30/2010)

Published September 28, 2010

(April 30, 2010) The “War on Drugs” has created a drug war in Mexico. Arizona’s crackdown on illegal immigration is an attempt to address the results, but fails to get to the heart of the problem. Reducing US demand for drugs and the flow of guns to Mexico could alleviate the violence — but the US seems more willing to help Mexico wage war than deal with the issues behind the problem.
