Gloomy About The Future Of Mexico...

Scott posted, I would think that someone who lived in Michoacan/Guerrero for six years and is about 3/4 of the way through a degree in International Studies with a particular interest in Latin America might have a slightly deeper understanding of the situation in Mexico right now than you do.

I don't know who the scholar is you are referring to, but let me make my position so clear that even a scholar and a webmaster should have a difficult time disagreeing with it:

You can only believe Mexican individuals are not responsible for their criminal behavior if you think individual Mexican politicians who solicit and accept bribes are not corrupt and individual Mexican men with guns who intentionally kill people are not murderers. But they are corrupt and they are murderers, aren't they?

People in the United States cannot force Mexicans to commit these acts. It is the choice of individual Mexicans and they are responsible for their behavior and decisions the same as everyone else.

Wow. I'm surprised anyone needs this explained.
