Today I am thinking about Mexico. It’s a frequent topic for me. I frequently wonder when it will finally be a failed state. This year United States Officials were attacked by a Mexican drug cartel in an ambush (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/16/us-mexico-usa-agents-idUSTRE71E7PY20110216). This is after last year’s killing of an American citizen and the beheading of the Mexican official that was looking for him (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1320874/American-tourist-shot-dead-Mexican-drug-cartel-case-mistaken-identity.html) and last year’s drug tunnel (http://abcnews.go.com/News/secret-tunnels-mexico-us-smuggling-drugs-guns-people/story?id=12057362).
The Mexican War on Drugs has claimed over 35 thousand lives from December 2006 through January 2011 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Drug_War).
Yet, people wonder why I always say “not interested” whenever a trip to Mexico is brought up.
