Mexican journalists, seeking mercy from the merciless

"A remarkable front-page editorial in a Mexican newspaper pleads of the drug cartels, “What is it you want from us?” The note of desperation is understandable, but it should be obvious what they want."
Remarkable indeed. Could you imagine a newspaper in the U.S. making that kind of appeal? Unlike the author of this article, I'm less convinced Calderon, however earnest, can do anything more than cosmetic. We need to seriously rethink the Drug War, folks.
