Bible of Wars. Part I - Mexican Drug War.


THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS AN UNPLEASANT PHOTO.

Hello, World!
Imagine your life in Mexico (in places where Mexican Drug War is still going on) just for a few minutes - you can't go shopping whenever you want to. You can't go anywhere without seeing dead (killed) people all around you. You can't say what you want. You have to pay to drug cartels. Your children are scared to the death. You can die right now - accidentally. You are always living in danger.
Briefly - you are very, very scared.

Are you interested now? Do you want some more information? Let me introduce you.


Mexican Drug War - an ongoing armed conflict. Rival cartels fight - they kill and torture each other. And they kill soldiers too. Why?

It started in 2006 because of government’s idea to destroy drug business, cartels and dealers. But the biggest cartels began a bloody war between each other and against Mexico too. It has got a reason - wholesale earnings from illicit drug sales range from $13.6 billion to $49.4 billion annually (we all would fall for something like that, wouldn't we?).


It's all about the money, money...

71 000 lives. 1.6 million people displaced. 1 000+ police and prosecutors killed.

They are not worth enough. Are they?


In my opinion, this fight is sluggish. Too sluggish and too bloody. Other countries have to do something to end this conflict if Mexico can't stop the drug war. We can't just watch ’cause it makes us guilty too. Blood-guilty.
