Mexico winning the drug war?Yes it's true, Mexico is finally starting to win the drug war under the rule of President Felipe Calderon. Although 50,000 people have died since he started, it looks like it is worth it. The drug cartels used to bribe police and officials to stay out of their way, but not anymore. Felipe enlisted the military to take on the drug war instead of police that could be easily bribed. The military would of course win in all out gun fights as well so they didn't have a problem with that. The drug cartels were making around $10 billion in revenue every year and now that number has dropped in a very significant way. In the U.S. we have a policy that prohibits the military from being used against it's own citizens but we have the national guard. Is it right for Mexico to use their own military against these drug cartels? I think so.
