I don't know why, but I found the news that a retired Mexican general, recently hired to direct anti-drug efforts in Cancun, had been kidnapped along with his driver and bodyguard, tortured, and then executed to be extraordinarily distressing. It was as if the earth had shifted.

Actually, I know exactly why it disturbed me so much. I just didn't want to put it into words. It's because the vile act implies -- hell, says right out -- that a basic social construct - that the good guys win - had been violated. And in a country right next door, too. One with easy access to this country.
