Calderón on Terrorism

Leo Zuckermann takes a look at Felipe Calderón's past writing on terrorism, in the aftermath of the 9/11 and during the Palestinian intifada. The recurring theme is a full-throated condemnation of the acts, but a caution about a counterproductive response. Zuckermann, in the wake of the Morelia bombings, asks:

Everything indicates that a violent answer from the state against the authors of the terrorist act is in the offing. The question is obligatory: now that he's on the other side of the desk, will Calderón keep thinking that a retribution of this type will lead us to an inevitable exitless spiral that will doom the lives of hundreds, maybe thousands, of Mexicans?
