U.S. Help with Mexican Drug War 'Insufficient': El Universal, Mexico: "The weapons that kill thousands of people in Mexico every year come, in the great majority of cases, from the United States.

The dollars needed to buy these weapons come mainly from the millions of American drug users. Therefore, any attempt to destroy the drug cartels will be useless as long as so many dollars and weapons continue to flow freely across the northern frontier.

It’s a simple case of cause and effect, yet the U.S. has been unable to assimilate health and security policy into a single powerful whole."
