American demand for Chinese goods has fueled growth in Chinese manufacturing, and Chinese savings, in turn, have enabled America to live beyond her means.

Recent Mexican-linked abductions in Phoenix are clear examples of the consequences of failing to stabilize the region. Reuters reported that Washington has pledged to give Mexico helicopters, surveillance aircraft, inspection equipment and police training under a $1.4 billion plan to beat the cartels in Mexico and Central America.
