NUKE THE CARTELS IN MEHICO
Sinaloa Federation
Sinaloa is considered Mexicos most powerful drug trafficking organization, and its leader, Joaquin El Chapo Guzman, is the most wanted man in Mexico. The groups domain stretches from the central west coast to the center north of the country (see map here), and it has steadily moved into the territory of other organizations. Its rivalry with the Juárez cartel has been the cause of much of the violence in border town Ciudad Juárez, which was the site of more than a quarter of the countrys total drug-related casualties in 2010.
As many other trafficking organizations have fragmented in recent years, Sinaloa has gained influence, according to an April 2011 STRATFOR report on Mexicos drug war. Mr. Guzman gained influence himself as leaders of Sinaloas allies and internal factions took hits from Mexican President Felipe Calderóns crackdown on the trafficking organizations.
A brother of the former leader of Beltrán Leyva Organization (BLO), a former ally of Sinaloa, accused Guzman of betraying BLOs leaders to the government to minimize challenges to his leadership, according to STRATFOR, the global intelligence firm. Sinaloas imperviousness to Calderons efforts have led the Mexican government to focus on taking down the smaller, weaker organizations and hoping that Sinaloa would act to reduce violence on their own since it hinders trafficking efforts.

I think prohibition breeds crime not drugs
Researchers examined data on more than 44,000 drivers in single-vehicle crashes who died between 1999 and 2009. They found that 24.9% tested positive for drugs and 37% had blood-alcohol levels in excess of 0.08, the legal limit. Fifty-eight percent had no alcohol in their systems; 5% had less than 0.08. The data were from a government database on traffic fatalities.
Study co-authors Eduardo Romano and Robert Voas of the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation in Calverton, Md., say their study is one of the first to show the prevalence of drug use among fatally injured drivers. Among drivers who tested positive for drugs, 22% were positive for marijuana, 22% for stimulants and 9% for narcotics. The study also examined interaction between alcohol and drugs in fatal crashes. Researchers found no evidence that combining drugs and alcohol produced greater impairment. "When a driver is drunk, it doesn't matter what drugs are in their system. The alcohol takes over," Romano says.
Unlike data for drunken driving, data on drugged driving are limited, says Robert DuPont, former head of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. But in 2007, the National Roadside Survey found that 16% of nighttime weekend drivers tested positive for illegal drugs. "There's still an inadequate appreciation of drugged driving separate from the alcohol problem," DuPont says. Only 19 states have laws prohibiting any amount of drugs while operating a vehicle, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.
