| Title: | Mexico, Drug Cartels, and the Merida Initiative: A Fight We Cannot Afford to Lose - http://www.heritage.org/research/LatinAmerica/upload/bg_2163.pdf |
| Description: | The Bush Administration’s Merida Initiative—a three-year, $1.5 billion anti-drug assistance package for Mexico and Central America—is a quantitative and qualitative jump in support for the drug fight in the region. Unlike Plan Colombia, which helped to rescue Colombia from the throes of a narco-war, the Merida Initiative will provide assistance in equipment, technology, and training without a significant U.S. military footprint in Mexico. President George W. Bush signed the Merida Initiative into law as part of the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2008 on June 30, 2008. |

| MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS: Government Progress and Growing Violence Dec. 11, 2008 http://web.stratfor.com/images/MEXICAN%20Cartels%202008.pdf Mexico’s war against drug cartels continues. What began nearly two years ago with President Felipe Calderon’s inauguration has since escalated in nearly every way possible. The past 12 months, in particular, have seen some significant developments as a result of Calderon’s campaign. Weapons and drugs have been seized, key members of drug cartels have been arrested and greater cooperation has been established between Mexico and the United States. Despite the genuine hurdles presented by Mexico’s bureaucratic infighting and rampant corruption, there is simply no denying that the government has disrupted the cartels’ operations in meaningful ways.
