Defend Mexico
Re “The war on our southern border,” Opinion, Dec. 10
David Danelo’s Op-Ed article is on target. The mass murder by the drug cartels in Mexico is at least equal to the Mumbai tragedy as a threat to our national security. Yet our leaders fumble their attempts to address this crisis, Mexico’s security forces are outgunned, and its people continue to bleed to death.
Why can’t the U.S. and the world rally to Mexico’s defense and put together a strike force that would send the cartels packing?
Mexico’s leaders have no problem when it comes to sacrificing their people’s economic welfare -- why not permit an international strike force to save Mexican lives?
