'IT'S A WAR' DrugSense FOCUS Alert #390 - Monday, 29 December 2008 'It's A War' - Mexican President Felipe Calderon 6,847 - Mexico's estimated Drug War related deaths since January 2007 - more than the U.S. fatalities in the Iraq war. The Mexican government has deployed about 45,000 soldiers and 5,000 federal police to 18 states to fight its Drug War. Since June the Los Angeles Times has been printing an outstanding series under the series title 'Mexico Under Siege' - 61 articles to date. You may read the entire series and future articles as they are added here http://mapinc.org/find?255 Will Mexico win it's Drug War? The series may cause you to doubt. There is a solution, perhaps the only solution, to end the death and destruction caused by our current failed policies - legalization! DrugSense thanks you all, our friends and supporters, for all you have done to support the effort in this past year. Because the economy, and the stock market, has hit some major DrugSense funders hard we know that some will decrease funding during 2009. Thus DrugSense asks for your financial support to help us keep doing what we do during the next year.
