marharth Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 So basically some people from Iran worked with drug cartels to plan a assassination on the Saudi Arabia ambassador to the US. Not sure what the complete story is, but I think it was the government of Iran. This is another reason why drug cartels need to be dealt with. They have enough power to make international deals that can kill major political figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 That would be "purported" drug cartel rep. I don't think he really was, more likely FBI. Article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 No reason to make drugs legal... Actually, making them legal is something cartels (and drug dealers) don't want since it would give them domestic competition and mean that they can't charge such ridiculously high prices.

I don't understand your post p.pCartels would be even more up in arms if their livlihood were threatened because of some actual push to legalize. Legal drugs are something they don't want. A drug cartel member here has nothing to do with legalizing drugs, and more to do with someone who might be experienced in smuggling things across the border or taking out a hit on someone near their territory. Bad people working together to take down a common enemy is kinda a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda the point. Not only would any politician with a pro-legalizing campaign have problems getting votes, they would also probably be getting targeted by these groups. As it pertains here... it still wouldn't change anything since those people would be even more willing to take to assassination plots to make up their losses.
