Former Mexico President Fox Blames US for Drug War
by Jason Whitely at wfaa.com
FORT WORTH — Former Mexican President Vicente Fox told News 8 that Americans addicted to drugs are at the root of the border violence in his country.

"This country has to think about legalization of drugs or make the decision to stop drug consumption," Fox explained. "If you don't consume drugs, our problem is solved. We're doing our part. We're paying with 50,000 dead now."
Violence along the international border — especially in Mexican cities that border Texas like Juarez, Piedras Negras, and Nuevo Laredo — has increased in the the last 24-months with beheadings, kidnappings, and even car bombs detonated as drug cartels battle each other and the federal police who were sent in to solve the problem.
The former president spoke at The Vicente Fox Forum of World Leaders at Texas Christian University on Wednesday.
But in a one-on-one interview, Fox told News 8 the drug war along the U.S.-Mexico border isn't his country's fault, but rather the United States' problem.
"We don't deserve to be where we are. It's not even our problem," Fox said. "Mexico does not consume drugs — not at the level of the drug consumption in the United States." (Source)

Tijuana, Mexico & Southern California, USA Border
Click to enlarge.. Via
OK so I've seen this picture many times, but the difference this time is I took it upon myself, as I do sometimes, to find its exact location. Without further ado, here it is.
Obviously the image above is taken from atop a hill, or perhaps a helicopter or airplane, so I found it impossible to put little Google Maps street guy in the exact location where this image was taken. However, notice the light blue building with the double roof on the right side of the road in Tijuana. That's the same blue building in the link.
Also if you turn around 180ยบ (or click here), you can see a little dirt hill on the US side in the distance, from where the picture may actually have been taken.
