Via Pajamas Media, I see that Professor Bainbridge disagrees with the administration's attempt to meddle in Mexico's internal affairs.

I agree, and I think that such interference only paves the way for a commie takeover in Mexico like the one in Bolivia. As I argued in a previous post, history bears this out:

I think the Drug War stinks, and I can't think of a better way to empower anti-American commies.

And now Evo Morales has risen to power from his base (pun unintended) as a leader in the opposition to the United States' coca eradication efforts.

What the hell are we trying to do, anyway? Transform a phony war into a real one? As I pointed out in a comment the other day, I don't think this nonsense will end until some libertarian idealist with nothing to gain resorts to a different sort of bioengineering.

Sigh.

Wars on human appetites are more expensive than the appetites they purport to combat.

And equally addictive.
