Hillary Clinton Arrives in Mexico

Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton arrived in Mexico today and appears to be saying the right things. She acknowledged the US demand for drugs and the fact that the US is not stopping arms from crossing the border illegally into the hands of the narcotraffikers. See the New York Times story here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/26/world/americas/26mexico.html

To my mind, she now needs to acknowledge that there is more to Mexico than a drug war and a border. That would have an impact on her talks with the Mexican government, the impressions of millions of Mexicans, and on the US public that is getted the message that all of Mexico is in chaos and at war.

More later after Sec. Clinton´s next public appearance this afternoon.
