I went up there with my fiance not long ago and it's deserted compared to several years back? Took some pictures, but when your cruising around those hills your head is on a swivel and you avoid contact with any vehicles with more than one guy in them? Sometimes we would see trucks with openly armed men riding in the back, looking like they were just itching for action? I used to wonder why the Mexican soldiers at the checkpoints on the roads pointed their cocked weapons at you before they actually stopped you? Now I know why cause the guys who are in the 'business' so to speak, shoot first and will not hesitate to kill anyone who interferes in their business including any law enforcement or military personnel! It's a very sad situation, there are a lot of good honest people who live around those parts and are unfortunately caught in the middle of the drug war? I don't think legalizing drugs at this point in the US would make much difference cause the 'legal' drugs would still come from the same places as the illegal ones thus you would still have the same organized elements involved, all fighting each other to supply the legalized drugs? It would still be a money game, just less money to go around which wouldn't be a good thing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-62655965591700124512011-07-11T21:13:30.641-06:002011-07-11T21:13:30.641-06:00WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION??

...YES, this is Calderon's 'war'....<br /><br />'Like the other towns here, there is no gas station or large grocery store. For those, one must drive down into the cities. But people have been killed by the cartel for trying to bring fuel or food back up. The assumption is it will go to Gilo. THE MEXICAN ARMY? IT STANDS BACK AND WATCHES.'<br /><br />In these 2 sentences describing the ..uh..'fighting', the writer shows exactly why Mexico's population has such ever growing contempt for the Calderon government and it's increasingly obvious and seen, US government handlers.Ardentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-56623838818638000012011-07-09T00:34:25.220-06:002011-07-09T00:34:25.220-06:00Much respect Michel Marizco.
