Again, where did she say that every American is responsible for the Mexican drug war?

On another note: No demand=no supply. You can thank the Americans who are buying the drugs and supplying the arms. The arms dealers should be arrested and charged with treason, in my view.

Well we've been fighting this war on drugs for what..over 10 years now.
We lost.

Legalize pot and see how quick those cartels disappear.

In other words, "She didn't say it but I'm going to say she meant it because it suits me to do so".

what about meth? cocaine? heroin?

we'd have to make everything legal to deprive these drug lords of a market.

Sixth grade? I think you're shooting high by about three years.

She did not say American drug users share responsibility,

"She said the United States shares responsibility"


That implies all Americans....

We do provide a market for illegal drugs. However, the current situation has gotten as bad as it has due to the corrupt and ineffective government of Mexico.
