The drug war in Mexico seems like something out of Bosnia-Herzegovina. When we have gang fights here, one or two people get killed. In Mexico, it’s more like two or three dozen people get killed. We have a couple of funerals. They have mass graves, or even worse:
The bound and gagged bodies of 26 young men were found dumped Thursday in the heart of Mexico’s second-largest city, in what experts said could mark a new stage in the full-scale war between the country’s two main drug cartels, Sinaloa and the Zetas.
The bodies were stuffed in two vans and a pickup truck abandoned on an expressway near the Milennium Arches in Guadalajara, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the picturesque city that hosted last month’s Pan American Games.
I don’t think the War on Drugs is working.
