The Methhead Zombie nation of Mexico

(CNN) -- There are kingpins with names like the Engineer, head-chopping hit men, dirty cops and double-dealing politicians. And, of course, there are users -- millions of them.
But the Mexican drug war, at its core, is about two numbers: 48,000 and 39 billion.
Over the past five years, nearly 48,000 people have been killed in suspected drug-related violence in Mexico, the country's federal attorney general announced this month. In the first three quarters of 2011, almost 13,000 people died.
Cold and incomprehensible zeros, the death toll doesn't include the more than 5,000 people who have disappeared, according to Mexico's National Human Rights Commission. It doesn't account for the tens of thousands of children orphaned by the violence.

There may be a tipping point, the point at which the Mexican Zombie Meth Machines proliferate faster than the Mexicans can figure it out. At that point, the Cartel will have a suicide machine, an entire nation of Brain Dead, just give them loads of Meth and point them North. It won't be racism, it will be Machine Gunism. This is evolution severely deselecting Mexicans, and if I were Mexican I might think about deselecting Meth, like right now.

Forget the drug war, this is a meth war. That poison is a horrible modifier of behavior, literally removing small chunks of conscience (the Self-Intepretor as the modern neurosciences call it. The drug is very unique among all the drugs, it should be the only focus of the war effort.
