Our Christmas message: Whether the murdered are narcos or innocents, every death is "collateral damage." Every death results from the United States framing its answer to the issue of drugs in terms of "good" versus "evil" that then has to be fought in a holy war. Every death is a destruction of the creative potential of life. Every death damages both Mexican society and the humanity of all of us.
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. 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.
