That’s right. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now blaming the United States for the violence in Mexico. Read that again. Right. She’s blaming our “insatiable” demand for drugs for the drug wars that are going on in Mexico.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday that an “insatiable” appetite in the United States for illegal drugs was to blame for much of the violence plaguing Mexico.

“We are. How could anybody conclude any differently?” Clinton told reporters in response to a question during a flight to Mexico for a two-day visit likely to be dominated by a drug war that killed 6,300 people in Mexico last year.

Clinton’s visit comes as Washington has announced plans to ramp up security on the increasingly dangerous U.S.-Mexico border. Fears are growing that the spiraling violence in Mexico will spill over into the southern United States.

“Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade. Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the death of police officers, soldiers and civilians,” Clinton said. “I feel very strongly we have a co-responsibility.”

I guess it has nothing to do with the fact the drug lords have completely corrupted the Mexican government, police and military. Or that these drug lords are complete animals. Or…well, I could go on, but I’m annoying myself with this. So, basically its “our” fault that Mexico is falling apart and scores of people are dying everyday.

What’s next? A Mexican bailout?

Only in America folks. Only in America.
