During the early years of this so-called war on drugs, I noticed that many of the foreign posters seemed to be able to rationalize or justify what was going on by: 1) saying that these events were only happening close to the border OR 2) saying it was no big deal because it was just the bad guys killing other bad guys. In the case of "1", this is what they wanted to believe and that was what the NOB press was harping on. In both "1"& "2", it was easy to believe and their lack of research in various media sources was very evident. It wasn't prudent to stop and think that the problems might be expanding and that sooner or later, more and more innocents might become involved. I can guarantee that if this incident had happened somewhere else in Mexico, many wouldn't be the least bit excited and might be inclined to say that it was the victims fault. But, OH MY GOD - it happened in paradise! there is no message that the cartels can impart to each other with any meaning by whacking "innocents". in the afore[sic] mentioned manner..it has become apparent that this territory is important to all concerned. same thing happened in edmonton but on a lesser scale a few years ago. http://chapalamexicoinfo.createforumhosting.com naivete is a chronIc disease and by its very nature;the afflicted never know they have it.-SNORK!
