Sanctions: The tough-love answer to cartel misbehavior?

The U.S. administration has had it with some of Mexico’s drug cartels—just some.

So, the answer?

Sanctions.

I tried to ‘Be One with Nature,’ now I want out!

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore --

While I nodded, nearly napping,

This is all true. Tiny, tiny ants no larger than electrons started eating my foot.It was a horror show. So horrible that it is fitting to steal the words from Edgar Allan Poe to set the stage. Poe, as you all know, wrote “The Raven,” a tragicpoem that concludes with the raven eating Poe’s foot. (At least I think that’s how it ends. Poe never ends anything with big laughs.)
