Civil War in Mexico

[Warped]

# Drug-related conflicts bring waves of violence, death that some liken to a civil war
# U.S. helps fuel violence with market for illegal drugs, weapons supply for drug gangs
# "The drug gangs are better equipped than the army," expert says
# Pervasive corruption among public officials also at center of drug cartels' success

A shootout in a border city that leaves five alleged drug traffickers sprawled dead on the street and seven police wounded. A police chief and his bodyguards gunned down outside his house in another border city. Four bridges into the United States shut down by protesters who want the military out of their towns and who officials say are backed by narcotraffickers.

"The spillover into the United States is bound to expand and bound to affect U.S. institutions," Birns said.

Mexican police carry a body after a clash with gangs that left 21 dead in the state of Chihuahua on February 10.

My friend was telling me about this a while back but our economy has trumped this problem. I also heard somewhere that our board agents are being killed in record numbers here and there but it'll never reach national news.

This is a real problem now. When I used to live in Mexico it used to be a peacefull place now its hell.

The main problem is that everybody is corrupted in Mexico. And their army cant do shit.
