lesser of the two evils. if you want to fight evil itself, then you are essentially fighting human folly of the entire world. the us cannot control what the cartel is doing, and the cartels are not only hurting the us, it is hurting the rest of the world. why not have a cartel that only hurts the country you don't like? look at what the british empire did, they essentially ran their own drug empire, and managed to bring down the chinese empire to its knees. right now, the cartels are working with the chinese, because the cartels have no political allegiance.
