Imagine what your reaction would be if the
Mexican government agreed to pay Barack Obama $1.4 billion to deploy US
troops and armored vehicles to New York, Los Angeles and Chicago to
conduct military operations, set up check points, and engage in
fire-fights that end up killing 35,000 US civilians on the streets of
American cities.
If the Mexican government treated the United States like this, would you
consider them a friend or an enemy?
This is exactly how the US is treating Mexico, and it's been going on
since 2006.
America's Mexican policy--The Merida Initiative--is a nightmare. It's
undermined Mexican sovereignty, corrupted the political system, and
militarized the country. It's also resulted in the violent deaths of
thousands of mostly poor civilians. But Washington doesn't give a hoot
about "collateral damage" as long as it can sell more weaponry,
strengthen its free-trade regime, and sluice more drug profits into its
big banks. Then everything is just Jim-dandy.
There's no point in dignifying this butchery by calling it a "War on
Drugs"?
That's nonsense. What we're seeing is a giant powergrab by big business,
big finance and the US Intel services.
