They are awash with the blood of those tortured and gruesomely murdered by the cartels as well as the millions of people trapped by addiction to the cartel's products.

"Since World War Two the United States has attempted to overthrow more than fifty foreign governments, it has dropped bombs on the people of around thirty countries, has attempted to assassinate some sixty foreign leaders, helped to suppress dozens of populist or nationalist movements, has tortured many thousands, and seriously and illegally intervened in one way or another in virtually every country on the planet, in the process of which the U.S. has caused the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair."http://thirdworldtraveler.com/

In the meantime, people throughout this country have been awakening from the bogus stories taught to them as children as soon as they enter high school, or sometime soon after, and keep on learning.
So glad to see your accurate information. Those who will not learn easily might be tempted to think about it a little! Never say never!
