Otherwise, we\u2019ll be continuing to spend  billions of  dollars and engaging in bloody wars, only to keep pushing  the drug  cartels from one place to the next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SAN JOSE, Costa Rica &#8212;           While Mexico\u2019s bloody war against the drug cartels is making  headlines worldwide, there is a little-known fact that is sounding alarm  bells among U.S. and Latin American officials: Central America\u2019s  drug-related violence is far worse than Mexico\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Even Costa Rica,  a country known as \u201cthe Switzerland of Latin America\u201d for being an  island of peace and prosperity in its region, is feeling anxious about  the rising tide of drug-related murders.<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised to learn  during my visit here  that crime has suddenly become the No. 1 concern  among Costa Ricans. Despite the fact that Costa Rica was proclaimed by a  recent global poll as the country with the happiest people on earth  \u2014something that almost everyone here reminds visitors with a mixture of  pride and self-depreciating humor \u2014 there is nervousness in paradise.<\/p>\n<p>The average homicide rate of the five Central American countries  is 43 people per 100,000 inhabitants a year, more than twice that of  Mexico. Honduras and El Salvador have the highest murder rates in the  world, according to a new United Nations Global Study on Homicide.<\/p>\n<p>Last  year, the homicide rate in Honduras was of 82 people per 100,000  inhabitants, in El Salvador 66, in Guatemala 41, and in Costa Rica 11.  By comparison, the homicide rate in Mexico was of 18, and five in the  United States,  the U.N. study said.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview at the  presidential palace, Costa Rica President Laura Chinchilla made no  effort to hide Costa Rica\u2019s worries. While stressing that her country is  still an exception when compared with the rest of Central America\u2019s  crime rates, she said that homicide rates have doubled in Costa Rica  over the past 10  years.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the rise in Costa Rica\u2019s murder  rate is due to fights among drug traffickers, she told me. But if what  happened in Colombia and Mexico is any indication of what may happen  next in Costa Rica, drug traffickers will soon start trying to extort  government officials, and murdering those who don\u2019t accept their money,  she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course  I\u2019m concerned,\u201d Chinchilla said. \u201cIf I  project some of the trends we are seeing in Costa Rica into the future, I  can\u2019t help seeing ourselves in the mirror of what has happened in other  societies in Central America, and in the rest of Latin America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She  added, \u201cI\u2019m trying to be ahead of the curve, because this is a problem  that once it takes root in society, it creates enormous social traumas  and social costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/canvas.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3796\" title=\"canvas\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/canvas.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>U.S. officials say Costa Rica, like other drug  transit countries, has good reasons to be alarmed. Ninety-five percent  of all cocaine reaching the United States is currently passing through  Central America, they say.<\/p>\n<p>William Brownfield, the U.S. State  Department chief of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs,  says Central America has already surpassed Mexico as the greatest  drug-related security threat to the United States. And no country that  is used as a transit point can escape an escalation of the drug cartel\u2019s  operations, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistory shows us that it\u2019s physically  impossible for a country to remain exclusively as a transit point,\u201d  Brownfield told me earlier in the week.<\/p>\n<p>Drug transit countries  become drug consuming countries for the simple reason that drug  traffickers pay their contacts with cocaine or heroin, rather than with  cash. And their local contacts later sell these drugs at home, he said.<\/p>\n<p>My  opinion: Despite Washington\u2019s claims to the contrary, the drug cartels\u2019  move from Mexico to Central America is evidence that despite some  successes, the decades-old U.S. anti-drug strategy is not working.<\/p>\n<p>First,  after the U.S.-backed plan Colombia, the drug cartels fled to Mexico.  Now, after the U.S.-backed Plan Merida, they are moving into Central  America. Next, if there is a serious offensive against them in Central  America, they will move into the Caribbean, or somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s  time to start a serious discussion on whether to legalize marijuana,  and use the proceeds for education and drug prevention in the United  States, Europe, Brazil and other big drug consuming nations, as well as  to help drug producing and transit countries fight their most violent  cartels.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, we\u2019ll be continuing to spend billions of  dollars and engaging in bloody wars, only to keep pushing the drug  cartels from one place to the next.<\/p>\n<div>Read more: <a
