Note: This is getting extensive play in Mexico, mostly computer
english as too long to translate today. Comments could go on and on,
but just this. He is correct that it has become a civil war. But
it will be settled by violence. Surrender will result in another
narco state like Afghanistan, war lords and all. They would only be
limited by finances as to weapons. Although that doesn't seem to be
much of a issue given lavish financing by U.S. dopers. He is also
correct about the pervasive corruption, which, by the way also lead
to the oppressive gun control suffered by the Mexican people. Which
has lead to the people being essentially defensless. The social and
educational infrastructure is needed, but as we are proving here,
buildings and staff are not enough. Check also the last paragraph.
Just as the drugs, no market, no traffic. Submit again, the people
of Mexico should once more have the right to keep and bear arms.
Mexico a poster child for the old bumper sticker: If guns are
outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Yes, the guy is a poet and
member of the old privileged class

Javier Sicilia presented yesterday afternoon, a document that calls
for a Covenant for a Mexico in peace, justice and security.
Here we present full:
I Reasons for emergency
Before the national emergency, more than ever necessary to take
urgent action to stop this war with its escalating violence and
restore the social fabric and community.
This historic moment and deeply violent side is the result of
economic and social structures of inequality and exclusion prevailing
here the slow death caused by poverty, unemployment, poverty lack of
opportunities for the full development of our lives and the
destruction of the environment.
The drug war is a manifestation of international policies and
agreements that placed Mexico as the battleground where the poor of
this country and Central America, they pay a heavy toll of human
lives for drugs to reach their destination and strengthen big business.
Against this backdrop, the State has opted for a military strategy to
confront organized crime and social protest favoring a process of
intensive and extensive militarization of public safety not only by
the widespread deployment of military forces in national territory
but also by growing presence of military commanders in the direction
of the civilian police.
Result of this strategy that places at the center of a violent
confrontation is a civil war which killed Mexicans Mexicans
generating 40,000 executions in six years so far.
Only last month in April there were 1,427 murders considering bodies
found in the narcofosas Civilian casualties are counted and by
thousands across the country more than 230,000 people displaced
10,000 orphans the estimated 30,000 Redim although not a number
10,000 official migrants kidnapping killed more than 30 mayors.
A key component that explains the escalation of violence and war is
the enormous corruption and infiltration in the State at all levels.
Impunity is one of the factors that determine what happens in the
country today 98% of all crimes go unpunished We have a system of law
enforcement and the administration's failure to investigate and
punish those who commit crimes and violation of rights.
