CNN had a piece that aired yesterday. The war on drugs is causing such crime problems that the Peace Corps is pulling out of Honduras!. Another sign of the failed drug war which has spread the violence from the cartels to the streets:

U.S. Peace Corps pulls out of Honduras - CNN

I know the Peace Corps isn't directly DR related, but all of this information about the failed war on drugs ties together because the DR is one country that has involved in a multi national business empire moving drugs from the South to the North. The violence shown in the documentary is appalling. People need to think differently about this problem.
Much of the violence in Honduras is not related to the illegal drug trade. Chavistas...etc are still fighting a proxy war against the current government and their supporters , with many innocents in the firing line. There are numerous articles I can cite agreeing with this. Yes, there is also lots of drug vilence.
