   This is an outrageous situation but we keep forgetting what we really have south of our border...a third-world country. Whay puzzles me is the fact that they openly espouse to be a Catholic country (that alone may explain a lot of things) yet there seems to be no intervention or political input from the Vatican or the church as a social agency in all this.

   The U.S. could put a stop to alot of these people losing their lives by putting a stop to the rediculous, failed war on drugs. Legalize recreational drugs and take all that money and put it in education and treatment programs. Alot of those guns come from the U.S. We can blame the stupidity of the NRA and their rediculous opposition to common sense gun control. They are a criminal friendly organization as far as I'm concerned. Have lived and worked around alot of Mexican people most of my life. The Mexican people need to put some serious thought into the cultural contributions to this sad situation. Mexican males and their machismo thing is one root to the problem. Maybe they should spend more time on the message that being a man involves way more than how many others you can kill or maim.

     FAILED !!! What is your defiition of failed? This imperialist nation depends on assorted wars to keep venal politicians at the helm. Law enforcement and the prison industrial complex thrive on the drug war. Thousands of cops have been arrested/convicted for working both sides but you can't consider that a failure can you? This clueless nation sprayed paraquat on Mexican pot back in the 60's and look what that accomplished. It gave birth to the indoor cultivation movement. It is frequently embarassing to be a citizen of a country led by corrupt, ammoral. venal, inept "leaders" and their corporate masters.

   Ron Paul is the only politician who realizes that the war on drugs has failed miserably!

   Remember, there were over 16,000 murders in the USA in 2010. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!

     16,065 or so to be exact. Understood that the population of USA is almost three times that of Mexico but still, 16,000 isn't anything to brag about.
