This cartoon is all the more appealing to me after I recently discovered that between Mexico's five major drug cartels-- the Tijuana Cartel, The Sinaloa Cartel, the Gulf Cartel, the Beltran Leyva organization, and Juarez Cartel--they have about 100,000 foot soldiers on the payroll. To put this in perspective, Mexico's governmental army counts about 130,00 soldiers.

Check that out. Implications-wise, it makes the cartoon just that bit more likely.
Scary stuff. Essentially, the Cartels are bands of criminals that have grown so powerful they are now in a position to topple nations.
The source of their power is their wealth and the thing is, they would be powerless, or severely handicapped, if the American and European people could control their appetite for illegal drugs.
