A Land Of Liars And Cowards

This week in Yakima County, Washington State three Washington State Patrol officers were burned to death in their personal residence. The ATF is investigating.
In Mexico nearly thirty reporters have been assassinated for reporting on the drug war raging in Mexico. I know of no reporter who is investigating if this is a crime related to the drug war raging in this country.
There is no public outcry regarding this tragic loss of life of three Washington State Patrol officers. In Mexico every time there is an act of violence related to the drug war there is a public outcry from the president on down and a call for justice.
I have heard no statement of anyone in law enforcement or politician saying this tragic loss of life could be related to the drug war raging in this country and saying drug war violence by organized crime will not be tolerated. In Mexico the president of the country has deplored drug war violence and called upon every citizen to help the government and law enforcement fight the drug war against organized crime.
If this tragic loss of life is related to drug violence the Mexican drug cartels which operate in this part of the state have 100% suceeded with this act of Mexican drug cartel violence now brought to the United States. They have silenced all concerned: the press, the public, politicians and law enforcement.
We have truly become as the bible predicts for Godless countries a land of liars and cowards.
Why is the reaction to drug violence so much different in Mexico? Mexico is still a family oriented spiritual country made up of practicing Catholics who are courageous and honest. The same can be said for Columbia and Italy who are showing the same courage and honesty fighting their wars against drugs and organized crime.
I believe the three Washington State Patrol officers were targeted by the Mexican drug cartels because they were honestly and courageously fighting the drug scourge in their community. They died as saints. May they inspire us once again to become a spiritual nation known for its honesty and courage.
