Narco-messaging billboards appear in El Paso, Texas

Yeah. I know all that. We can respond with all kinds of military mayhem. As we did in Iraq and Afghanistan, post 9-11. But, first of all, the US is the number one customer of the narco cartels. And secondly, good old normal day-to-day life in the US seems to be the first thing that goes to hell when we decide we have a new enemy. Security theater has become a way of life for us since 9-11, we now have insane amounts of hassle and inconvienience and even injustice, due to our reaction to one day’s attack. (ie. “The terrorists have won”).

I’m not so anxious to unleash more “you are our enemy”, military actions just yet. Poorly worded, sorry. I’m too tired.
