Yes Catfish, its all the US' fault. As usual.
I am very much aware of the CIA operation to finance the contras by findign them aways to sell drugs on the Us market, and all that. However, this is not the cause of the problem.
Already in 2006, I had written here in the forum, or linked to, a long essay on the then young Afghanistan war, 30 pages or so, title was "Trapped in the Afghan maze". And already in that I recommended a work by A.W. McCoy, The Politics of Heroin: CIA complicity in the global drug trade. -
LINK- My copy of that found a wet grave in the strong rain flooding we had some years ago, but that long I know already about what you point at. you must not tell me.
The problem is that even where you attacks on the US in parts may be correct or indicate a shared guilt for theirs indeed, you ruin it by claiming it is all only their exclusive guilt, and no other factors play in. Its always the US' guilt alone, and you imply by that if the US would fall back, then all would be good since then the source of evil in the world has vanished. Man, that is so typically German far left leaning. And it is a mutilated, simplified carricature of reality. And it simply is wrong. But you complained in the past when I call you out as a left? Stop bringing up the German left's claims and arguments, and I stop associating you with them. That simple it is.
The book by McCoy is very good, btw, if you are interested in that matter serioulsy. I just found it a bit difficult to read, and cannot even say why. I recall that it was very sober, maybe that was why I struggled with its English.
Mexico now is what it is. How it got there, can obviously argue dabiut, but it doe snot really matter. How to contain the plague from spreading - that is what its about now. And just appelaing to them and hoping that reason will prevail, will not do anythging, nor will any fincial transfers or open border policies.
If the US woulkd go into Mexico and then recruit all those corrupted policemen and officials and politicans, then I cannot help them. But my laughs will be on them. In Iraq, they fired all the RG officers and Baathist big names, different to wehat you just implied they would do in mexico. Again, in Iraq it worked terribly against them, and the country. You cannot compoare, obviously, the case of post-war Gewrmany, Iraq and Mexico. Its comparing apples, oranges and bananas.
