US drug users fueling Mexico conflict 30 Mar 09

[roster1990]

yeah of course you can manufacture drug and distrubute drugs in mexico but that not were the profit is, the profit is in america you got more crack heads, potshead here and all that money goes back to the cartels

[snappa52]

when the anglo american empire wants to subjugate a nation, they get them hooked on drugs. you can go as far back as the opium wars in china for the precedent

[mirx3007]

Of course Americans are not responsible, they are accomplices. As simple as that,

It would be stupid to blame solely one part, when there are to sides to any coin,

[snappa52]

american citizens are not the reason for the mexican drug war. this is a distraction. it is not "illegal" to manufacture and distribute in mexico if you play by the rules of the mexican gov't and the big cartels. the violence is the mexican gov't and the big cartels vs. the smaller cartels who arent playing by the rules. america is culpable by the association of the military industrial complex's profit from a perpetual war. the CIA has been neck deep in the drug trade since at least vietnam.

[snappa52]

we are guarding poppy in afghanistan. politicians benefit from campaign contributions because they are "tough" on crime. the whole war on drugs is a tick sucking away at the expense of the american people. we are wasting money on this fight. legalize marijuana and hemp, tax them and regulate them. these are the real cash crops of the american drug trade. i dont do drugs, but the hypocrisy is sickening. these perpetual wars against boogie men are killing our treasury and country

[6179301948]

and the underground cannabis market subsidizes in many ways - the rest of the "products"

[HerculesRockefellerr]

If only I was one of the brown people of the world I wouldnt have to take any responsibilty for my own actions either!

[preludedriver226]

Good weed is bought and grown in america. When's the last time they caught a huge van of Nugs coming over the border from mexico or canada? Now the other shit, well I could care less about, but it all needs to be decriminalized anyway, maybe then real addicts who arent rich dont end up in the prison system breaking into my and your house. Maybe they can figure out how to actually rehabilitate those people who abuse real drugs like coke and meth. 30000 7 weeks? Id want repeat business.

[jax1492]

i have no sympathy for the drug users they knew what they were doing

[decimator333]

I love how there's all thse left-wing radical pot heads rating the video down.

[jasonpalth]

Why do you insist on labeling people into political groups? The opinions of others can't be summed up by a political party. Doing so can only lead to ignorance.

[mexica187]

i think miami gets there drugs from puerto rico

[1warpig]

or Haiti. LOL

[mexica187]

marijuana s not a drug its medicine

[DrIdler00]

"Millions of Americans, some of them addicts, take drugs every year as Al Jazeera's Monica Villamizar found out in the clubs along Miami Beach. "

So the US government gives all that business to criminals,

and then complains about the CONSUMERS fuelling drug wars!?

The SOLE reason that MILLIONS OF USA PEOPLE buying drugs is fuelling CRIME, is ONE USA LAW.

Now, which is easier for the USA government to CHANGE:

MILLIONS OF USA PEOPLE,

or ONE USA LAW!?!?

[1warpig]

funny that most of the addicts were hooked on heroin... too bad 93% of the world's opium comes from afghanistan. LOL

Yeah, blame that on Mexico Too.

[TheEvilOyo]

and increased after the taliban was taken out of government.

[1warpig]

Word, it was mostly wiped out under Taliban control. The CIA taught them well ;)

[allgoo19]

Make drugs available as prescription, then tax it and keep record. That'll pay for the prevention and re-hab cost.

Why they spend Billions of the tax payer's money who don't use the drugs to beat it ?

Do the same with alcohol products. There's no difference about it.

[AuroraKismet]

Your video title is illogical and untrue.Therefore, 1 star.

[elnegro5695]

its completelly logical & true, mexican drug cartels are killing eache other in order to get control of the northern states so they can get the drugs to the US easier, why do you think they do that? cause america its number 1 drug consumer & gun dealer in the world, 80 percent of cartel incomes come from the usa & also 90% of their guns, so yeah fucking american users that want to get a line of cocaine in the club of some extasis are financing dead in my country

[AuroraKismet]

Because you are much younger than me I will tell you this.The US Governement has known since the 1960's that controlled substances are coming from Mexico to my state of residence.The Federales are responsible for controlling the borders of a country;

if it were not imported,people would not have access to it.not the clubgoers.They have allowed heroin to go through Los Angeles,San Francisco,Seattle and and other places.

When you are ready to learn and not react emotionally,then we can talk.

[elnegro5695]

did you know amapola growth start in mexico as a request of your country to get heroin for american troops back in the 40s? bet you didnt, demand creates supply & not the other way around cartels start shiping drugs to your country cause your ppl wated it, why would they go for all that trouble when they could just sell it here? cause theres is not as much demand as there is in the usa think about it, its way easier get drugs in here & yet there is not even thw half of users

[elnegro5695]

& the gun issue its true, even admitted by your own goverment must of the guns cartels use are bought in the usa, we are way doomed in here we live next to a place full of addicts whit a gun legislation that would even let a 3 yera old whit down syndrome to buy a high power assault riffle

[elnegro5695]

if that its not the perfect mix to create & fuel a drug dealing organization then idk what is

[peacerebelgirl]

people's lives have become banal - the verve of intoxication fuels addiction. but to say that americans are fueling mexico's 'drug war' is nonsense, simple-minded.

[1warpig]

The War on Drugs is fuelling the... drug war in Mexico... duh.

Legalize it, control it, tax it, stop imprisoning people over it, stop killing people over it...

[abfmariachi]

Demand and supply!

[lGnossos]

And what a surprise! A high dollar rehab center in MALIBU CA, one of the wealthiest suburbs in the country, has an ad right next to this crap..my fuckin god.

[lGnossos]

What the fuck happened to al-jazeera?! This is pretty sad they're doing the same BS stories you can find on U.S. news. The government loves people doing drugs, otherwise they'd actually do something about it. Want to stop meth? STOP SELLING PSEUDO-PHED lol. As always, blame the people, not the impotent governments. This isn't journalism, it's horse shit. Fuck you AJ, get back to reporting real news.

[uanimale]

I think Mexico is fueling a Mexican drug war,what a stupid title.People like you stupid Jews and Muslims and minority groups keep fucking with America that's why they get in so many wars.fuck all of you i hope the states nukes mexico.

[DrIdler00]

I think the American prohibition is fuelling a Mexican drug war.

[tmtmtmtm2002]

I cannot hear the most of the sounds. What's going on?

[FahhhhhQ]

There is complete stereo separation. I'm getting both channels, but I'm wearing headphones and I'm deaf in one ear. Very annoying.

[jimmyjames133]

I'm sick of hearing how the problems of mexico are the fault of the American people

[uanimale]

yeah nuke Mexico or were ever the drug problem may be coming from,am sick of seeing my friends get high and people dying because of drugs.

[elnegro5695]

nuke a country the american way of solving everything, im sick of seeing inocent ppl getting kill here whit guns buyed in your country whit your dumbass friends money, but ok go ahead nuke mexico the parts in conflict are right next to your country at least if u nuke idk lets say ciudad juares youre gonna fuck el paso up too

[Mxyzptlk562]

No one is nuking anyone. Take it easy. In the 64 years since the bomb was created, it has only been used on one country.

These are just some nuts posting immature comments anonymously on YT. It is not like Barak Obama himself is on here threatening to nuke Mexico. Thank God the average idiot redneck from Kansas does not get to decide who gets bombed next.

[uanimale]

am sick of crack heads.

[fluoridemakesudumb]

millions of americans have died, suffered from tobacco which was legal. alcohol related rapes, traffic deaths, violence, depression kills and ruins lives of hundreds of thousands.

if drugs are legalized, gang crimes may decrease or may not since the primary cause of it is the lack of education and poverty. you can bet yourself they will find another avenue for their crimes and rest assured drug overdoses and drug related behavior will rise(mainly cocaine, heroin and meth).

[jasonpalth]

Nooo. It's the fact that drugs are illegal that is fueling the drug war.

Does no one remember a little thing called prohibition?

[mkabbz]

jasonpalth - Agreed. My drug appetite is being satasfied by the efforts of my neighbors.... thank you very much.

[fluoridemakesudumb]

"US users funding mexico's drug war".

NO SHIT, einstein!!!!!!
