La Guerra de Calderón

Jorge Castañeda publica hoy en la revista online Slate un intersante artículo como preludio a la visita de Obama a México, explicando los paralelos entre la guerra de Irak y la guerra contra el narco mexicana.

Calderón's War of Choice
How Mexico's war on drug cartels is like the war in Iraq.

The parallels to the Iraq war are striking. For starters, the rationale behind Calderón's decision to take on the cartels shifts constantly—as did the Bush administration's reasoning for taking on Saddam Hussein—depending on the narrative being spun at any given moment and the speed with which past justifications started to ring hollow.
...

When governments keep changing the reasons that justify their actions, it probably means they were unhappy with their initial justifications or cannot divulge the real reason behind their actions. But Calderón can hardly come out and say, "We're in this mess because I won a very close election that a lot of people were questioning, so I needed to get people to rally behind me and the flag by taking on these bad guys."

Y lo peor, es que se sigue hablando de guerra, se sigue aumentando el número de tropas desplegadas, con lo que sigue aumentando las violaciones a los derechos fundamentales de los mexicanos y el Congreso? bien gracias, planteando sus dizque estrategias electorales (osea contemplando sus ombligos)

A qué hora se declarará el estado de emergencia en las ciudades invadidas por el ejército? a qué hora se declará la suspensión de Garantías? a qué hora el Congreso llamará a cuentas al Presidente por haber iniciado una guerra SIN tomar en cuenta las normas constitucionales?

a qué hora habrá en México un Estado de Derecho?????
