Colombia was able to temporarily and partially disrupt drug cartels by cracking down with a concerted law and order effort. Heightened government crackdown in countries with a drug cartel problem is another tactic, and it's one I should have included and discussed above. Unfortunately, yet predictably (given ongoing strong economic pressures), Colombian drug cartels are once again rising in power - often with Mexican drug cartel recruiting demobilized FARC guerrillas.

Yeah I heard abt the Mexico one but didn't know they're on the rise again in Colombia. Why don't they just do other things to make money right? Why do they do bad things when they can probably use their talents in other ways.

I'd like to think Colombia is a better place now. The people's efforts were not in vain and I hope everyone there will not allow the drug cartels to rise again.
