The good news is that the Mexican economy does not depend on the drug income for support. The bad news is that Mexico is so thoroughly corrupt that dealing with the crisis by local and federal police is a sham since too many officials are implicated in one form or another themselves. Maybe the only answer is for one drug family to rise above the others and crush all competition, thereby ending the slaughter that includes too many innocent people. Perhaps at that point a concentrated effort on the part of the Mexican government with lots of help from the US can then move against this family. Wishful thinking. Ultimately, locally effected citizens are going to have to take matters into their own hands and fight back to return peace to their neighborhoods. Probably also fanciful given the money at stake. As was said by pundits before the Mexican Revolution: "Poor Mexico, so far from God, yet so close to the United States."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
