Forbes Rich List Includes 'Poor' Billionaires, Mexico's Most Wanted Man

Prevention

The main focus should be on how our children are raised,we need to teach them consequences from consuming all illegal drugs, and we have to have a good communication with them to keep them away from the drug environment. It would be great if the United States, being the primary consumer of illegal drugs, would spend more time and money on prevention programs for young people and children. Like mentioned in other comments, as long as there is demand, there will be supply; and all the violence that comes with it.

Supply and demand

NO ONE knows how far up the corruption goes in the UNITED STATES. This drug influx didn't just start yesterday. Palms are being greased as far up as the white house and anyone who thinks that's crazy, ought to stop drinking Jim Jone's cool aid and do the math. In Vancouver, BC - because they're not getting the supply they need, the cost has risen by $25 grand. Wow, I feel so bad for those chumps, but stop blaming all the drug ills of the world on first, Columbia, then Panama and if the US even tries to do the same in Mexico, we will see a war like you've never seen before. Spend the money on weeding out all the corruption in the UNITED STATES first - then, use some of that tarp money to get the addicts into treatment, not prisons, and most of all, use the tarp money to educate the people with jobs that pay enough money to at least survive. Whey should be bail out banks and countries and give away taxpayer money like it was penny candy. I love in the Baja - yes, we have problems, but nothing like you're hearing in the press. It's all politics. Mexico won't "mind" the US and they issue a travel warning. Mexico says "so what" the US gets the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco to issue another alert. And, now I read that Obama is "considering" putting troups at the border. Please Presdient Obama, don't listen to the advisers - this is a Bush tactic and it will not work. I live in San Felipe, Baja and we have no problems, but the United States and world press has managed to destroy what tourism we had. Thank you. Now, every one in the world can go to sleep knowing there are thousands of kids hungry and guess what - the US has been fighting it's own war on drugs for over 60 years and never won that one. We were trading arms for drugs - the United States of Ameria? We invaded a country to take over the president of that country. Who does the US think they are? Bottom line - clean up your own back yard; check out the numbers in your prisons; look at the unemployment lines; look at the mess the GOP managed to do in the last 8 years. If you can clean up the corruption and the war on drugs in your own country, then you have at least a leg to stand on. AS it is now, trying to divert the United States citizens' attention away from Iraq, Pakisan, Iran and everywhere else you plan to sneak around in, and then and only then, will I listen to what your plans are. And I campaigned for Obama!!

Billionaires

Guzman at least is an "honest" crook. How many of those other billionaires should be following Mr. Madoff behind bars?
