These poll options suck, as neither is in anyway the correct sollution to the current delimma. The correct answer is "Mexico should legalize the sale of marijuana and drastically cut off the power of the cartels, which would force the US to reconsider legalization." 2/3 of the cartel's money comes from the sale of marijuana, and without that money how are they going to pay people to kill other people? And keep in mind that's only 90% of the illegal drugs they sell. If they could pawn the higher margin drugs off on people they would. Without marijuana as an income source, the cartels wouldn't be able to afford to fight - AND they wouldn;t have alternative revenue streams. They do as much as they can ith everything else.
To end the drug war in Mexico, all the US has to do is let people use a substance less harmful than tobacco or alcohol as they see fit. Oh, and the US, currently plagued with massive debt, could use this opportunity to gain massive tax incomes while drastically cutting back on tax costs ('cause putting people in prison is expensive).
You do not have the right to never be offended.
