america is partnering with the mexican government in the war against the drug cartels, the mexican government is risking everything, mexican president has sent more than 40,000 army troops into the treats of his own city. but one could understand if he feels like he's doing that alone. america has promised $1.4 billion over three years, but that's four or $500 million a year. now, the head of just one cartel of many, one individual, his net worth is estimated at more than double what america is putting into the drug fight every year. america really is not yet fighting this war. and i think the mexican government will be hoping that obama will have something to bring to the table and something to announce, some real involvement in terms of money. mexico's still waiting on delivery of helicopters that they've been begging for. also guns, the guns that are being used to fight this war are coming from america. this isn't just stopping at the border and increased border control. it means preventing the sales in the first place. mexico's calling for a weapons assault ban. let's see if the obama adm

the mexicans can't control it. we can't control it. and that then, when you look at the border, is our last desperate effort of civilization. where we blew up the big bomb in the spring of 1945 because we are going to finally be able to control things. and as you probably know from reading newspapers, didn't work out that way. it turns out other folks can make these things. so i'm going to start with that, oppenheimer is always fascinated me. the guy who actually met doctor frost or method level and did the deal. >> the -- >> mexico and the united states. if you take the border of new mexico with mexico and if you take the border of taxes from el paso down to big band, no one goes there. that's the first thing if you want to really look, look where no one goes and goes there. i will give you another advice to give a big book with every national park in and make sure you never enter one because it will have signs in people. if you go outside them, you will get the experience. >> process question. do you write and then have the photos ta
