In Mexico's drug wars, fears of a U.S. front

With U.S. forces fighting two wars abroad, the nation's top military officer made an important visit last week to forestall a third.

He went to Mexico.

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the trip to confer with Mexican leaders about the Merida Initiative, a three-year plan signed into law last June to flood the U.S.-Mexican border region with $1.4 billion in U.S. assistance for law-enforcement training and equipment, as well as technical advice and training to bolster Mexico’s judicial system.

The assistance is intended to help Mexican President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa step up his war against drug cartels. The drug lords and their soldiers are blamed for having killed more than 6,300 people since January 2008, including more than 1,000 in the first two months of this year alone.

That’s about 100 people every week for the last 14 months. The cartels usually do not target civilians, but dozens, perhaps hundreds, have died in the crossfire.

“It’s a real war,â€

It is outrageous how little he seems to be concerned about unprotected Americans living in the border cities. It seems our government cares less about us every day! BE CAREFUL, I am hearing about Americans being killed in Mexico all the time!

Exactly what we saw during the Christmas holiday. Can you imagine what would happen if they actually had to fire their weapons. I imagine lots of innocent people would get mowed down.
