One of the reasons I wish liveleak were still around is so people like you could see the world that most people don't get to see. If only you could see just one video from there with "cartel" in the title. Would give you a much-needed dose of reality.
- csears 3y agoI'm very aware of just how horrifically violent cartels can be. I'm not ignoring that or condoning their behavior. Historically, there have been many instances of powerful groups of people willing to commit atrocities to stay in power. In some cases, it's still useful to attempt to negotiate or explore peaceful solutions. When you're negotiating, it's often useful to look for some kind of mutually beneficial outcome where both parties get something valuable, while giving up something less valuable. I have no idea if this would actually be possible in the case of drug cartels, but I think it's worth considering.

- csears 3y agoYou may be right, but it's not clear to me they are totally irrational. The fact that they seem to have business partnerships with chemical suppliers in Asia would suggest that they are capable of cooperating when it suits their interests.
