MEXICO CITY - The Mexican government on Saturday released a long-awaited report that for the first time officially blamed "the highest command levels" of three former presidencies for the massacres, tortures and slayings of hundreds of leftists from the 1960s to the 1980s.

When Fox is gone we will hear of his corruption. And all
while he pontificated to us.

Maybe this will shut them up for a while.

I always recall hearing about a group of Communists who disappeared from a train en route to a meeting somewhere in mexico. The Mexican government expressed deep concern but their whereabouts was never discovered. They did a good job. We should take a lesson from them.

It's called murder and we don't condone that in this country although I imagine some people in Washington would think it's a good idea.

That day may be coming. We spent 50,000 good lives in Viet Nam to suppress Communism, and now they run freely in our Congress.

This cannot go on.

Look, leftwingnuts in Mexico are far more dangerous than those in our own country.

Responsible people tried taking care of the problem a best they could ~ might have been murder, but only a half hour ahead of their own murders.

In contrast the American approach is to send our military into a country, stir up the locals, then say "Hey, guys, we're tired of this" and pull out just in time to see the outbreak of a massive civil war ~ resulting in wholesale genocide of one side or the other.

I think Mexico was one of the first places we tried that trick on ~ thankfully they avoid doing it themselves.

We've got another case of it coming up in Iraq and the public gave a majority to the party who seem to have the most taste for that sort of thing.

Judging from the way Mexicans vote with their feet, I'd say Mexican Presidents have failed in more ways than just this.

[" massacres, tortures and slayings " ]

Well, all one do is consider the city of Nuevo Laredo. They don't have a police chief because the last two were murdered just in the last year.

At least our Ex-Presidents give us an advantage over Mexico's.
