 * Mexican Drug War **
 * The conflict associated in the Mexican drug is the rising conflict in Mexico involving the trafficking of drugs and the people being killed because of these drugs.
 * This conflict took place mainly in the northern cities of Mexico because it gave them an easier access to the U.S. who was the biggest buyer of drugs from Mexico at that time.
 * The conflict started in 1990 and is still going on because the drug dealers are still finding ways to control or corrupt their local authorities into letting the cartels sell their drugs.
 * The major groups involved in tis drug war are the cartels, Mexican citizens, and the U.S. The cartels sell the drugs, some of the Mexican citizens buy the drugs and others are scared, and the U.S. buys most of the drugs.
 * It is a conflict because it has been going on for about 20 years and it is drastically affecting Mexico and the U.S. in a negative way.
 * The problem is that the drug dealers have controlled the police of their town and are trying to control everything by making business owners pay them taxes which helped them gain more money and power.
 * The conflict played out by the police department becoming corrupt by letting the cartels sell their drugs and endanger the lives of the Mexican citizens.
 * This cartoon shows that the U.S. “shoots up” the drugs that the cartels sell and the cartels “shoot up” anything that gets in their way of success.[[image:file:///C:/Users/Tyrell/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.jpg width="576" height="388"]]
