Ciro Gómez Leyva, Milenio, 6/2/2010
The majority of the dead are criminals, President Calderon repeats again and again. And judging by the cold, hard facts, it is true. But? Do you have to keep killing them, Mr. President? Is life better with less criminals? How has the daily life of 110 million Mexicans improved from the butchering of 21,915 in these three and a half years?…
The perception of the people, in survey after survery, has been moving from caution to dissapointment, from dissapointment to hopelessness.
But President Calderon keeps repeating that they had to continue killing. That Mexicans could not continue to live at the mercy of the criminals.
