Operation Green Ice revealed that there were already substantial connections between the cartels and the traditional heroin distribution networks run by established European organized crime groups. I believe that it is only a matter of timeand perhaps a short timebefore our European allies find that cocaine and its crack variant are a rapidly growing problem. Worse. modern Europe has a growing underclass of immigrants. many of them illegal. These people. who are attracted by higher wages or by the promise of safety from ethnic or religious conflicts at home. are a natural market for crack. It is cheap. it gives a false sense of energy and reduced fatigue. and the user does not have to inject it.
