The powerful Mexican drug cartels are finally facing a true governmental threat due to nation wide government actions. Since taking office Mexico's president, Felipe Calderon, has deployed tens of thousands of troops in areas where the drug cartels have been extremely active. There has been a price to this because approximately 15,000 people have died since 2006. Drug cartels fight over territory and routes that they can use to smuggle drugs into the U.S. Although there has been some progress, it is not the promised progress that people want so that they can be safe and not have to worry whether they will get to live another day. It is also the responsibility of other countries to try to reduce their drug consumption and growth so that eventually cartels like the ones in Mexico will not be so much of a threat.
