Very interesting! We shall have to see how this plays out.
Obama Retracts Clinton's Comparison of Mexican Violence to Colombia | AHN: "President Obama took the unusual step Thursday of retracting a statement made a day earlier by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about Mexico’s drug war. Clinton said Mexico’s drug war was like Colombia’s war against insurgents 20 years earlier, which was funded by money from drug cartels.
Obama called Mexico a “democracy” with a growing economy that cannot be compared with Colombia 20 years ago, according to the Los Angeles-based Spanish language newspaper La Opinion, which quoted Obama in an interview. Obama’s retraction referred to Clinton’s comments at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington." Sept. 9, 2010

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
