Are online schools the same in Mexico and the United States?

Should the United States change its relationship with Mexico because of Mexico's recent decision to not target Mexican drug kingpin/terrorists?

• Source of Question: http://m.guardiannews.com/world/... Failure to send the zero tolerance terror message seems to make the United States a bigger target for terror. Mexico has it seems given-in to the drug dealing terrorists in Mexico. Should the US pull back on its economic relationship with Mexico since the American drug problem is predominantly caused by the drug dealing terrorists who are Mexican citizens?

• Answer:

  Easiest way to put the drug cartels out of business is to simply legalize drugs and stop one of the biggest U.S. policy failures of the past 100 years. Its clear criminalization does not work, just like Alcohol prohibition did not work. The drug war results in dangerous poor quality drugs, cartels with weapons (think Al Copone with Alcohol, notice no one goes after the CEO of Budweiser?). People are always going to do drugs and alcohol. The founding fathers of America smoked pot (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson) and many others used opiates regularly.  So, really the drug cartels are not terrorists but businessmen forced to defend themselves due to US policy failure. Mexico is right. Its pointless to pursue them. They are not terrorists but entrepreneurs.
