Collateral Damage: Mexico's drug war is fueled by addiction here

A voice from Baltimore on the "collateral damage" of U.S. drug demand.

Mexico's drug war is fueled by addiction here - baltimoresun.com: "Mexico's plight is almost entirely absent from debates in our current electoral cycle. Mexico only enters the discussion when it comes to illegal immigrants, whom some would rather toss back into the cauldron below. In truth, our national drug addiction has nearly ruined the country next door, and all we can think to do is erect a wall along the border between us. Perhaps this wall can repel some migrant workers, but it cannot contain our demand for drugs, which incessantly seeps southward." Oct. 17, 2010
