"We will not tolerate foreign forces dictating and enacting laws on Mexicans," said Zedillo in a speech Thursday in Campeche. Congressional legislators and high-ranking Foreign Relations Secretariat (SRE) members have threatened to appeal the law in an international forum, and several formal communiques have been sent to the different branches of the U.S. government. Zedillo warned that any human rights abuses against "our brothers" living abroad will be answered with the "full force of all the legal instruments at our disposal." The last head of state to agitate for his foreign nationals to this extent was none other than Adolf Hitler.

This reminds me of a story from a few years ago. Does anyone remember the Mexican cop killer here in Texas that was let off thanks to a technicality? Well, after he was set free, he went back home to Mexico and was treated like a national hero. Talk about karma, he got his in the end, he was killed in a car wreck soon after.
