The Drug war that is being fought in Mexico has been proved more difficult than ever thought. More than 6300 people have died since December 2006 of drug related murders. The killings have came across the border of Mexico and Americans are dieing too. Mexico is on the verge of collapse because of America's demand for drugs. America has to take a lot of the blame too because almost ninety percent of the weapons used in Mexico come from the U.S.A. Gun laws in Mexico make it almost impossible to buy guns, but since the laws are weak in the United States, people buy them here and then smuggle them into Mexico. The United States are helping buy sending millions of dollars in helicopters and intelligence to help fight this war.

this is really surprising that so many people are dying from drug related things. and its also surprising that the people are smuggling drugs down to mexico just for that reason. hopefully this gets stopped pretty soon
