The supply of illegal drugs from Latin America will continue as long as the demand does.

Hilary Clinton, the US secretary of state has described America's appetite for illegal drugs as "insatiable".

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.

  • 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,

  • 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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • am sick of crack heads.

  • or Haiti. LOL

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