Mexique: escalade de la violence

Les gouvernements mexicain et américain travailleront-ils ensemble?

"The appalling barbarity of a deliberately set casino fire that left 52 people dead in the northern city of Monterrey last week is all the more reason for Mexican President Felipe Calderón to intensify his country’s courageous fight against drug criminals and for the United States to do everything it can to help its southern neighbor. Mexico is waging the fight of its life, with an uncertain outcome that carries huge stakes for the future of that country and the well-being of the United States, as well.
Mexicans have traditionally been wary of any “help” from the United States. They fear it comes with strings attached and represents some form of intervention in domestic affairs. The latest escalation by that country’s savage mobsters should be reason enough to set aside all such notions once and for all.
The casino fire was a flagrant act of terrorism that cannot go unanswered. If once there were well-founded reasons for Mexico’s suspicion of U.S. motives, such attitudes must change as the two countries face a common enemy that flaunts its brutal methods and shows deep contempt for authority and disregard for common decency.
Clearly, Mexicans are getting exhausted, and increasingly fear for their lives. In the five years since President Calderón decided to confront the growing menace posed by drug criminals, some 35,000 people have died. Not since the days of the Mexican Revolution, 100 years ago, and the Cristero uprising that followed it, has Mexico undergone such incredible violence. But giving in to the drug criminals — just standing aside and letting them go about their business undisturbed — is no solution."
