The U.S. and Mexico are trapped in their attempts to stanch the violence associated the drug trade and should consider drastic policy changes to free themselves, said former Mexican President Vincente Fox in a keynote speech here on Sept. 21.

The current policies aimed at prevention and interdiction of drugs moving through Mexico and into the U.S. are holding back both countries, he said. The bloody battles among drug cartels in Mexico in the last few years has cost the country dearly not only in Mexican lives, but in tourism dollars, foreign investment, said Fox.

The strong enforcement response by the Mexican Army to quell the violence has ended up fueling more, he said. “We have to calm down,â€

Does anybody still think Mexico is our friend? This is all about calling off their war on drugs and relying on the US to do it for them, then open the borders and we can all be one happy family. The country of Mexico is nothing more than a leach draining the US dry with the US governments help.

He has got to be on drugs!!!!!!!!!!

The bloody battles among drug cartels in Mexico in the last few years has cost the country dearly not only in Mexican lives, but in tourism dollars, foreign investment, said Fox.

ARe you kidding? Mexico makes a hell of a lot more money off of the cartels than they do tourism or from what foreign investments will ever bring to that country. It's one of the top three revenue sources for Mexico. It's a billion dollar Mexican industry.
