Responsibility

Hillary Clinton declared in Mexico City that drug consumption in the US is behind the violence in Mexico. That's a nice, cost-free sentiment, and I think it's generally a good thing that American policy-makers are willing to make that concession, but at some point you have to ask them, OK, so what are you going to do about it? It's not enough to say that the US has a responsibility to help Mexico, and then slice $150 million of aid to Mexico, shy away from prohibiting the sale of assault weapons, and refuse to engage any discussion of legalizing marijuana. Hillary and co.: give those words some weight!

She followed up the above statement by telling her audience that the sky is blue and water is wet.
