If we know who the major drug lords are. Why haven't we assassinated them?

I know that a lot of the faces of major drug lords are public. I'm wondering why the country(any) hasn't assassinated them? I know it's probably not legal, but they've done plenty of dirty things. Why not this?

Well for starters they usually have very high levels of security around them, assuming one can even pinpoint their location. Take Colombia for example, there is a lot of rainforest to hide in and you'd need to get pretty damn close in to actually have a chance of threatening their life.

Secondly, drug cartels do have command structures. Removing the guy at the top doesn't cause the whole organization to collapse upon itself. Another guy would simply take control and the organization would continue as normal.
