Mexican President Felipe Calderon is mulling on legalizing drugs.
Wise and brave decision to make but will he survive it?
He will be up against a very formidable alliance of the most unlikely kind— of drug lords and anti-drug movements themselves— for two contrasting reasons. Drug lords, because drug trade is more profitable and firmly under their control in an atmosphere of prohibition. Anti-drug groups, for the old noble reason of shielding society from evil.
