Human Rights Watch actually fails to call for the US to end this so-called 'War on Drugs'! Human Rights Watch actually fails to call for Obama to stop further militarizing Mexico! What in the Hell is wrong with this group? There's little about human rights about them!<br /><br />Here is what they do call for... 'Because it is in the interest of both countries, Obama should make clear that if Mexico fails in this regard, the United States is prepared to withhold the 15 percent of Merida funds tied to human rights requirements. Obama should argue that meeting these requirements will not only benefit human rights, but will also make Mexico's security forces more effective in their campaign against violent drug cartels.'<br /><br />This is wrong, wrong, wrong! The US is funding a vast expansion of Mexico's government's terrorism of its own population and is funding a Drug War that has GROWN the cartels, not stopped them. We should not be calling for 'making Mexico's security forces more effective'!<br /><br />When human heads begin to roll in US street because of this US foreign policy, the same way they are now rolling in Mexico, I bet that this idiot group Human Rights Watch will begin to sing another tune. Until then, we should all begin to question the fake-o human rights rhetoric that backhandedly supports DC's global 'war on drugs'. It will lead to only more chaos, war, and destruction in Mexico, and all parts south.<br /><br />'Human Rights Watch', my a--! This sort of mindless rhetoric that Human Rights Watch engages in will lead to more chaos, war, and destruction in US society, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
