Mexico - the most corrupt, pathetic, arrogant little country - uh, shit hole - on earth... well, one of them anyway.

Drug wars in Mexico still taking deadly toll [3/26/07]

Here's an update on Mexico's very own war on drugs.

The good news is that el Presidente Calderon appears to be taking real action as opposed to mere photo ops. The bad news is that the cartels remain very powerful and are fighting back like in a real war.

The police casualties are up 50 percent over last year according to the BBC.

This is another reminder that Mexico is not the sort of place with which the United States should be more closely involved, like the North American Union, for example!
