Nearly 23000 people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico since a US-backed military crackdown on cartels began more than three years ago. The report said 2009 was the deadliest year in the drug war, with over 9600 people killed. The death toll is on track to be even higher in 2010. Amy Goodman, Democracy Now, speaks with reporter Charles Bowden, author of Murder City: Ciudad Juárez and the Global Economys New Killing Fields, concerning the current state of affairs in Mexico.

Here is another solution, stop by all means even execution the illegal act of consuming illegal drugs by US citizens. There is a real solution for you.Americans must Stop doing the illegal act of purchasing and consuming illegal drugs. This criminal activity by Americans is causing the war in Mexico. Stop criminal Americans, War in Mexico stops.
NAFTA..gave Mexico American factories/jobs and they use them to extort money and kill people. Meanwhile…the world ecnomy is crashing. Way to go Bill Clinton.
– This is what the despotic rightwing zealots who have hijacked American democracy over 50 years are moving towards, their ‘final solution’ to the very problem THEY created — Essentially repeating the ‘wonderful’ sanitization policies of Fascist Nazis.
THAT’S the true face of the Police State Corporate-Feudal Technocracy that rules over us, overseeing the globalized legitimacy of criminal syndicates & militarization of the farce of neoliberal ‘free markets’ via Vampire Capitalism.
– NO, what you must mean is there are about 40,000 deaths each year in USA due to medical-practice ‘accidents’, ie. drug-interactions, negligent operations & errors of carelessness. Your figure of 40,000 ‘overdoses’ is absolute nonsense idiotic stupidity.
, You’re an idiot.
40000 people in usa was death for consumer of drugs in one year.
Dissolve the Mexican government and admit its states into the union. Then clean up the drug lord mess with the marines.

Capitalist mode of production has revolutionised technology/ science and human organisation to such an extent that Market System has become a FALSE LIMIT to truly and effectively taking care of our NEEDS AND WELL BEING. We need to share the Earth in COOPERATION not in COMPETITION and transcend the PROFIT motive to SANCTITY OF LIFE. We have all the means and resources , the human creative genius for a meaningfull path of harmony within and without.
Great book. Thanks CB.
