But $400 million in drug-war aid just approved by the U.S. Congress doesn't require the U.S. to independently verify that the military has cleaned up its fight, as many American lawmakers and Mexican human rights groups had insisted.
Instead, the money comes with few strings and no yearly evaluations — exactly what Calderon wanted.

$400 million dollars; enough money to feed and provide healthcare for thousands of suffering Americans, enough to provide proper healthcare for a lot more of our wounded veterans, given to Mexico--no strings attached. Four hundred million dollars wasted on fighting a "drug war" that wouldn't *exist* if our stupid government would admit that the "War on Drugs" is unwinnable. It's not MEANT to be winnable; it's meant to be a legal reason of last resort for the government to search your house, car, and/or person at will. When in doubt, claim suspicion of drugs.
I'm so damned sick of this.
