  2. How very unfortunate and I will pray for his soul. Mexico needs to ditch the arrogance and get some solid help in defending its interest or it will all soon go to Hell. In Nuevo Laredo a newspaper had been pleading for help from threats but all reinforcement that came was from lame empty speeches from the political parties; now, there are no mainstream print news stories on cartel activity. Mexico has a real civil war on its hands.
