Reply #5: Annoying isn't it...

The trade is SO big and so connected, that it does seem bizzare that anyone in the media could possibly believe that the entire trade is ONLY facilitated by dimebag addicts and desperately poor migrants.

If the coke trade was ONLY the demand provided by rock-frenzied skeletors spinning around in the doorways in virtually every major city, then there wouldn't be an international drug trade.

Whe your dealing with this kind of money--then it's the financial institutions, the importers/exporters, the military, the gov't, realtors, car dealers, lawyers, that is keeping it alive.
