Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday pledged more U.S. help for Central America’s fight against drug cartels, saying the United States was part of the problem as trafficking and violence spread.

“We are going to forge an even closer partnership in the months and years ahead,” Clinton told a news conference in Guatemala, the last stop on a five-day Latin America tour.

“We are well aware that Central America is between the countries of Mexico and Colombia that are waging their own very intense efforts against the criminal cartels.”

Clinton’s stop in Guatemala featured talks with regional leaders on both the drug problem and Honduras, which is struggling to move beyond last year’s coup.

Mexico’s powerful drug cartels have moved deep into Guatemalan territory in the past few years as a Mexican army crackdown has pushed them to seek new smuggling routes between South America and the United States.

I'm sure the wingnuts will criticize Hillary for saying the U.S. is partly to blame for Latin America's drug-related problems. But she's right. The people in this country are the ones who are buying/taking the stuff. It's basic supply-and-demand economics.

I was in the middle of posting a reply to this thread lol when work called to tell me I didn't show up for my shift today oops so had to rush to work.
I am glad she is speaking up and telling the truth that American drug usage is causing the problems.  To tell you the truth the mob wants drugs to remain illegeal because its more money for them.
We need to help these folks recover and we also need to remember those communities like mine who also must suffer from drug controlled neighborhoods.
