SAME PLAN YIELDS SAME RESULTS

Re: "Waking Up to Death -- Americans' murders in Juarez finally get our 
notice," Friday Editorials.

The tragic murders of Lesley Enriquez, Arthur Redfels and 2,600
Mexican nationals have not had the same effect on our decision-makers
that the St. Valentine's Day massacre had on decision-makers in our
grandparents' time.

Congress' plan, which The Dallas Morning News supports, is to do the
same thing harder and hope for a different result. This is no more a
permanent solution to the drug wars than hiring another G-man would
have been in 1929.
