How to stop the flow of drugs into our country

[pjohns]

I am beginning, more and more, to agree with Ted Cruz: Since the Mexican president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, is clearly unwilling to help stymie the flow of drugs into this country, we should take matters into our own hands, and send the US military into Mexico, either with or without its permission, to destroy these drug cartels.

The US government sanctions the sale of all sorts of legal drugs which kill countless Americans every year. I'm still waiting for someone to explain why it's okay for thousands of Americans to die from smoking or drinking, but it's not okay for them to die from pain killers. According to the twisted logic of the OP, Budweiser has been waging war on America for decades.

My cousin was an Airforce fighter pilot in the V nam war. He watched the CIA bring in load of drugs on cargo planes. But they want to go to war with Mexico.
