"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
those of us who are informed do know that mexico is a failed state. while war with mexico may seem extreme, we must do more at the border. this lake - as commenters in the article have pointed out - should be patrolled by the coast guard. and the mexican government should be held accountable.
Mexico was a failed state years ago. When I was stationed at Fort Bliss, gringos going more than 50 miles or so south of the border were at risk of death, unless they stayed in certain zones, or paid off the local police.
Of late, the Mexican government is simply showing signs of a final collapse. About all they haven't done is to decide whether to view the cartels as competition, or as partners.
Haven't heard all that much about this, [come to think of it haven't read much about what is going on in Mexico either, only what I pick up here], but are people trying to say the wife did it?
Think I was exaggerating about the shooting war?

Watch them blame this on Tiffany Hartley, too.
