News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Mexico's Calderon vows no respite in drug gang war

Sat Feb 10, 2007 3:57PM EST

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Saturday vowed no respite in his crackdown on drug gangs after brazen attacks on police stations this week killed seven.

Gunmen disguised as soldiers assaulted two police stations in the resort of Acapulco on Tuesday and killed seven in broad daylight. They left the message: "We don't give a damn about the federal government and this is proof."

Calderon, who won a razor-thin victory in Mexico's presidential election last year, was unbowed.

"We are not going to give up, not because of provocations or attacks against the security of Mexicans," Calderon said in a speech to the military. "There will be no truce ... against the enemies of Mexico."
