Well Mexico is no longer putting off until tomorrow the things that can be done today. Sunday the chief of police in Nogales, Sonora was killed. Tuesday the equivalent of Mexico's vice president died when his Lear Jet crashed into rush hour traffic on Ave Reforma in downtown Mexico City. . . What is happening to our friendly neighbor to the South??
Drug cartels have changed the face of the nation:
Mexican distribution rings supply about 90 percent of the cocaine, 80 percent of the methamphetamine and half of the marijuana used in the United States, and drug cartels are fighting viciously over that trade.

Mexico's most-wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, head of the Pacific-coast Sinaloa cartel, has declared war on the local drug baron, Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, and sent his foot soldiers to drive out the Juarez cartel. The Gulf cartel based around the Gulf of Mexico coast has joined the fight.
Last we heard Shorty was settling in down in Chihuahua.
The continuing waves of violence have "put the country at the top of some of the most infamous lists in the world: the country with the most kidnappings, the most violent crimes, the most journalists killed in the Western Hemisphere."
Vamos a Mexico? Not this winter. Thanks anyway.
