Vi kunde läsa om honom för några dagar sedan på Di.se där han figurerade som #701 på listan över världens rikaste med en förmögenhet på över en miljard dollar. Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera, den Mexikanska drogkungen som fått sin rikedom från att låta undersåtar smuggla cannabis och döda andra gängmedlemmar och poliser. Enbart i staden El Juarez har över 2,000 människor dött sedan början av 2008 i denna konflikt.
Detta är vad El Chapo har att säga om kriget mot droger:
"I couldn't have gotten so stinking rich without George Bush, George Bush Jr., Ronald Reagan, even El Presidente Obama, none of them have the cajones to stand up to all the big money that wants to keep this stuff illegal. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say, Gracias amigos, I owe my whole empire to you."
Mexikos president Calderon (likt tre tidigare latinamerikanska presidenter) ger den här åsikten:
President Calderon is begging American officials to [...] legalize it. "Oh yeah," said an official close to the Mexican president, "Felipe is going crazy. He's screaming at everybody who comes in, 'Why don't they make this sh*t legal already! You're killing me here!' Look, everyone knows, when you have Prohibition, you create gangsters. And the more you prohibit, the more gangsters you make.
El Chapo:
"Whoever came up with this whole War on Drugs," one of his lieutenants reports he said, "I would like to kiss him on the lips and shake his hand and buy him dinner with caviar and champagne. The War on Drugs is the greatest thing that ever happened to me, and the day they decide to end that war, will be a sad one for me and all of my closest friends. And if you don't believe me, ask those guys whose heads showed up in the ice chests."
