The violence associated with drugs in Mexico is a result of factors on both sides of the border. Drug related and cartel violence in Mexico is fueled by demand and guns from the U.S. Colin Chapman takes a look at the issues with STRATFOR expert Fred Burton.

  • you are so stupid ,just listen to your self there is corrupted people everywhere .people now days are money hungry and they will do anything for it

  • i agree with u, they think that the u.s shouldnt be blamed for anything..but they have 2 ask themselves: who r the drugs for? were do they get the guns? they should think before they talk..

  • the answer is a surge in federal non resident police attacking the drug lords directly. with the "motto" not to take any prisoners. additionally a state of emergency should be declared for the entire northern mexican states. Allowing the government temporary powers to arrest anyone for any reason if it involves extortion bribary or gangs.

  • Money is the root of most evil. Who ever sold them guns dont give a shit who buys the guns, as long as they have money to buy them they dont give a shit. If they came up to me and I had a gun shop and they said give me ten M-16's or ur family is dead I would sell them too! thats how they operate, they threaten u and its not just a threat they will kill ur family,this is why they have so much power in mex. cause if u go against them they kill ur family if not u first.

  • where is the proof they came from US pawn shops anyway? mexico has a fancy serial number tracking system allready? I'm tired of the US "collectively" getting blamed for the people's screw ups

  • viewer84: Do u follow whats going on in Mexico? If you did you would see that theres a serious war going on, and its not with toothpicks! Obviously u don't because you wouldn't make a foolish blanket statement like that. Bye the Bye KEYWORD in your statement is: You don't T-H-I-N-K.

  • i dont think u can blame the u.s. for violence in mexico. period.

    p.s. finally a mexico insight! been waiting for this
