Neal Peirce’s excellent Seattle Times editorial on the violence in Mexico is currently the top link at the Reddit World News aggregator. Sadly, despite the importance of what’s going on in Mexico right now, it still barely gets mentioned on traditional media outlets. And even when it does, the connection that Peirce makes between American drug policy and the violence in Mexico is never discussed in a way that helps the viewer understand what’s really going on.

Lee,
OK as far as it goes, but let’s keep our eye on the ball. Mexico is controlled by a tiny and utterly corrupt oligarchy. They need to be broken totally and completely. Furthermore, fundamental reform is essential for Mexico to cease the short sighted policy that exports its most valuable asset….its hard working people.
’nuff said.
