This is far from the truth. The cartel activity was ignored and aided for so long under previous governments that the monster was stirring just below the surface, growing, getting stronger every day. I have lived here for 13 years and saw some of it first hand. But we all turned a blind eye to the corruption, grumbling each time we paid off a crooked cop at a fake traffic stop. Crimes weren't reported because everyone knows the police are part of the problem.<br /><br />There were plenty of kidnappings, extortion and robberies in the past. But there was an institutional blindness to it while the politicians, police and military collected payments.<br /><br />This was due to escalate on its own. It is just that Calderon was afraid how strong the beast would become if it were ignored any longer and he stirred things up.<br /><br />Does anyone think for a second that, with all the money involved, the cartel war would NOT have heated up? There is too much money involved, less "honor" than there was decades ago, a desensitization that has creeped in that makes the cartels do even more outrageous things to terrorize, like beheading and skinning.<br /><br />The vast majority of deaths in Mexico in recent years has been inter-cartel. Unfortunately the large numbers has also led to an increase in civilian deaths.<br /><br />So, does anyone think things would be glorious if Calderon walked away from enforcing the law?<br /><br />Something to think about....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-71526671421235807992011-06-14T10:42:28.122-06:002011-06-14T10:42:28.122-06:00I agree, Sinaloa is the birthplace of all of this ...I agree, Sinaloa is the birthplace of all of this mess, I hate to say it but it's nice to see them feel the wrath of their actions!El_Regiohttp://www.monterrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-76212418385703580122011-06-14T10:04:16.734-06:002011-06-14T10:04:16.734-06:00Gld to see Sinaloa star to suffer like Juarez has...Gld to see Sinaloa star to suffer like Juarez has for 5 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-54277736456688451282011-06-14T09:25:07.928-06:002011-06-14T09:25:07.928-06:00PAN makes such sweet promises, don't they?

Mexicans don't really want to vote PRI in the upcoming elections next year, but what choice are they really given? When they have elected the PRD to Los Pinos, the elections are simply stolen through fraud..Ardentnoreply@blogger.com
