Mexico's drug war: Number of dead passes 30,000
More than 30,000 people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon took office four years ago, the government says.
Almost 12,500 have been killed so far this year, a sharp increase on 2009.
Mexico's attorney-general said the number of deaths was "regrettable", but showed that the security forces were having success in their fight against the drugs gangs.
President Calderon has sent thousands of troops to battle the cartels.
The latest figures were announced by the attorney-general, Arturo Chavez.
He said 12,456 people had been registered killed in drug-related violence so far this year, compared to 9,600 in 2009, bringing the total to 30,196 since President Calderon took office in December 2006.
But he said the figures reflected the "desperation" of the cartels in the face of pressure from the security forces.
Mexico's ambassador to the US Arturo Sarukhan on what more needs to be done on drugs violence
Mr Chavez said the government had seized record quantities of arms and drugs and captured or killed 10 of the 24 most wanted drug traffickers.
The Mexican government says many of the deaths are the result of fighting between rival gangs over territory and smuggling routes into the US.
Most of the killings are concentrated in certain regions, particularly the northern border states.
The border city of Ciudad Juarez alone has seen 3,000 killings so far this year, ten times more than in 2007.
Critics of Mr Calderon's policies say they have increased the level of violence without reducing the flow of cocaine and other drugs into the US.
Human rights groups have also raised concerns that using the military has exposed civilians to possible abuse.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-12012425Selvfølgelig er det ikke kun kokain, men det er klart det primære rusmiddel der er skyld i de drab. Derudover er det selvfølgelig også war on drugs, og ikke kokain i sig selv der skyld i de drab. Men samtidigt bærer man også som bruger af kokain en vis form for skyld i de drab vil jeg mene. Man er hvertfald ikke med til at minimerer problemet. Jeg skal hvertfald ikke nyde noget af at sniffe noget op i næsen, der har så meget blod på sig.
Udover det var kokain også medskyldig i at mit liv fuckede helt op på et tidspunkt. Det er ikke sket med andre rusmidler.

Med det sagt, holder jeg også på at amfetamin er én af de bedste stimulanser såfremt den bliver taget med omhu som Snufkin også nævner... Og så skal det også helst være noget ordentligt noget, findes ikke noget værre end skamcuttet lorteamf, det plejer også at give værre tømmermænd...
