One of Mexico's biggest cartel leaders is killed

Mexican security forces tracked down and killed drug lord Arturo Beltran Leyva, one of the most wanted traffickers in Mexico and the United States, in a victory for President Felipe Calderon's drug war.

I think this is awesome news. I'm a really big drug hater, so I always like hearing news like this. The world has become a smidgen of a safer place. I liked hearing this because you rarely rarely hear good things coming out of Mexico. I think the nation has a pretty bad wrap, especially among americans.

Just making room for some up and coming young kingpin. The world is safer for a few minutes, I guess. The vacuum is always filled, and always will be. The war on drugs will never be won.

If they did that in the US, the shooters would be in jail, the ACLU would be filing charges, and the news would be saying that he was actually a great humanitarian.
