"El Chapo" Guzman Captured Feb. 22nd 2014

http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/23/world/americas/el-chapo-capture/index.html

Some like to say that the current "War on Drugs and Cartels" is Mexico's issue. I tend to think that the United States helps fuel the Drug War fire and blood spills in both countries as a result. With the recent capture of "El Chapo" Guzman the current war is entering a new chapter. What do you think needs to happen with the Drug War which continues to plague the Criminal Justice system?
