...describe the narcotrafficking murders but fail to explain why they occur: as a direct result of demand for cocaine in the U.S. They do not demonstrate, as may be inferred, any inherently violent characteristic of Mexican society.

Instead, they're going to China, whose explosive economic growth in recent years has posed a far more serious threat to all North American employment...
...response was sympathetic to an India eager to see justice brought to the attacks' perpetrators, but came with a no-nonsense warning: "We do not want to impose war, but we are fully prepared in case war is imposed on us." On Dec. 26, he again warned his neighbor country against "the mistake of surgical strikes," while calling back troops on leave and placing all military personnel on active duty...
