“The way that we were able to stop the drug cartels in Colombia.."
When did we stop them? I guess I slept in on that day..

There's certainly not the number of bombings, assassinations etc going on there today as there were in the 80's and 90's. The country is safer overall when compared to that time period. With 3000 killings a year in Ciudad Juarez, it's obvious that neither the Mexican military nor the Police can handle the problem on their own. Primarily because many of them are in bed with the Cartels. So how bad SHOULD we let it get there? Until every single Mexican citizen that's NOT in the drug trade immigrates to our Country? Is that the answer?
I see no GOOD answers to combating the Cartels until people stop demanding the drugs that are fueling this violence.
Looking at Prohibition it seems fairly obvious that the violence will continue until either a) demand drops or b) laws are changed.
