While I have my personal ideas, I have not been put into the desperate situation that many of the people in Chiapas were placed in.<BR/>In my opinion, I would hope that Marcos wouldn't want to loose too many people, I suppose that the loss of a few lives is in a way inevitable. But I see no reason for there to be a large number of lives to be taken.<BR/>One fact I would like to correct, is that they governmnet isn't paying the Zapatistas off, but paying off the citizens who support the Zapatista movement. By gettign rid of the support of the citizens, the Zapatistas have no where to turn and may as well be extinguished due to lack of cooperation by people.Sara Modahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424967263951491905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340552774118589138.post-41553798993881991382009-01-13T10:51:00.000-06:002009-01-13T10:51:00.000-06:00This is a complicated political situation of cours...This is a complicated political situation of course. I really believed in Marcos' cause at the beginning of his protests, but cannot support him now due to the violent way he protests' the repression of the Zapatistas. While I don't agree with the corrupt way that the Mexican government is coercing the Zapatistas with "charity," I do wonder how to stop the violence. Marcos seems to have gone too far like so many passionate people for justice. of course he cares about these people and their plight, but how many lives is he willing to sacrifice for his cause? This is the conundrum for me. What do you think?senorita morsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14319986202413241696noreply@blogger.com
