Mexican drug-trafficking forces have endangered the state power-why should the United States tolerate the existence of drug lords when it has the ability to eradicate Saddam and the Taliban?

The United States does not tolerate the existence of drug lords, but it cannot contain them for the following reasons:

1, the relationship between the United States and Mexico has always been very good, and it is unlikely that the United States will disgrace the Mexican government and interfere in Mexico's internal affairs;

2. Mexico is rich in drugs, which are profitable and the domestic economy is not good, even if strict laws are used, it is difficult to contain them;

Mexican drug lords often cross-border drug trafficking, and illegal immigrants enter the United States with cheap labor. The United States must have an umbrella. Acting rashly will only lead to heavy losses.
