Walters: Violence is a good sign

In a Christian Science Monitor article about the drug cartel violence in Mexico (remember, we trained many of them), John Walters says:

“In a way the violence is terrible but also a sign that the cartels are being squeezed by government.”

I’m sure that will make the locals feel better.
Also:

…others, including Mr. Walters, the director the US Office of National Drug Control Policy, say its only a matter of time before the border violence reaches into the US.

I guess we should be grateful?
