Opinion about "U.S.-Mexico 'war on drugs' a failure"

 Mexico has a enormous vast problem with drug dealers and cartels, but what is the United States going to fight with? Is it the Mexican cartels or the Mexican government? I grew up in Mexico and I know what I’m talking about: the president and Mexican governors are working with Mexican cartels to get money from the people. Is sad to know that many of us can’t go to Mexico to visit our family and friends and it’s not because you don’t have any legal documents to come back, but because you can get kill the first day you spend in Mexico. But, where is the Mexican government? They are too busy getting the backs of all the Mexican cartels. Mexican government do not arrest the real leaders of the cartels in Mexico, they only arrest members of the cartels that they think can be traitors. I just hope that on 2012 the new president will end it up, just as fast as the last president created these horrible groups of people that tortures people and makes them pay fees for living in Mexican towns. Is hard to prove all this because the government doesn't let news reporters to write stuff about it, and that is why a lot of news reporters in mexico are kill every day, and i know this because I lived it.

Do we have a fair government?

T
he United States of America has the stereotype of being a fair government that cares about all its citizen no matter what. But what is a fair government? We are supposed to be a fair government that cares about all its citizens, but does the US government care about all its citizens? or only for those that will help the people in the government to get higher positions? In my opinion, the ugly truth is that our government is not as fair as it seems to be. Powerful interest groups make our government corrupt and only rich people get the benefits of it.  Does the United States of America have the worst government? The Answer will vary, and it depends on the person answering the question. In my opinion, our country has its bad and good sides. I think that the United States of America does not have the worst government in the world but does not have the best either. I also believe that “ the perfect government” does not exist, and humans cannot have too many power because they will take all the advantages of their power for their own benefits and they will forget about the poor or the weakest people. I think that the congress has too many power and that’s  not fair because the decisions of congress will have an impact on the lives of all US citizens. We are a big nation and is almost impossible to have all the people happy, so think about other places like Cuba or China. I think the US government is doing well even though is not the best government in the world, we are not under a totalitarian or communist government. I think that we need to take action and get involved in our national and state governments.
