Global Pulse – 08/07/08: Border Drug War – (August 7, 2008) While the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan dominate most war news coverage, there is another war raging much closer to the United States. The Mexican police and army are waging a battle against the cash rich and weapons-heavy drug cartels with 2008 being one of the bloodiest years to date. While US news usually portrays the confrontations as a Mexican problem threatening to move north, Latin news sources paint a picture of US demand driving the cartels to do whatever it takes to move the drugs north.
