The Mother of All Crises

-
The Economy is The Mother Of All Issues currently. At the moment not many people are giving much thought to civil rights, human rights, poverty, or hunger. The same goes for loss of habitat for primates, saving the whales, air and water pollution, or brutally killing baby seals.
-
In fact for most people the economic crisis is far more important than the people dying in Iraq and Afghanistan.
-
I would like to add one more important issue to the list: According to the Financial Times the government of Mexico is gradually losing the battle against the drug cartels. They report that “there have been 3,148 drug-related murders so far this year in Mexico - an increase of 38 per cent over the whole of last year.”
-
This battle going on in Mexico is not trivial.
