AMERICA IS TO BLAME FOR MEXICO'S DRUG WAR

Nearly 10,000 people in Mexico have died in drug-related violence
since January 2007. Who or what is to blame? Some say it is America's

government is ineffective in controlling the trade of the drug
cartels because of rampant corruption in law enforcement in the country.
