In the Guardian, meanwhile, Joseph Charles Luksza is relieved that Mexico has finally started to debate drugs legalisation. The bloody policy of prohibition has failed. Over at the Financial Times, Gideon Rachman says that realistically, Turkey cannot join the EU if it involves the total free movement of people. In the New York Times, Paul Krugman criticises the Republicans and conservative Democrats who want to retain George Bush's tax cuts for the richest 1 per cent of the population. Finally, in the Independent, Neva Khan points out that Pakistan's recovery depends on how well the long-term needs of the country are addressed when the immediate disaster relief is over.
