Drug war dispute to dominate Obama-Calderon meeting | Reuters: "Mexican President Felipe Calderon will press President Barack Obama to crack down on U.S. drug consumption and illegal arms sales when they meet on Thursday to smooth over troubles in their drugs war alliance....
Rodolfo de la Garza, a political scientist at Columbia University, said Calderon should make clear at his fifth round of talks with Obama why there hasn't been more progress -- and lay the blame squarely at Washington's door.
'Why is he losing the fight? Because the U.S. provides guns and money. It's not his fault,' he said. 'If Calderon's willing to point that out publicly, it will help him symbolically. It will show Mexicans that he's standing up to the U.S.'"
