The extended day of violence caused by the drug war, which every day throws dead of one side or the other, is the worst in living memory in the country's long campaign against the traffickers. Not for nothing, Mexico became the country's highest risk to the craft of journalism after Iraq, according to international organizations.

Now what worries at the rate of events and results of government actions, is that the state began letters that had been reserved for decades. Felipe Calderon, who took office on December 1, 2006, did what no other president: the war on drugs overcome all national strategies and present it as the central task. Also for the first time, the central government gave the package to the Mexican army, an institution of high prestige in the country (the validation surveys compared with the Catholic Church, for example), whose capacity and effectiveness is now at stake.

Because the drug trade, Mexico has suffered violence spikes at different times during the last decades. As the Tijuana Cartel, the Pacific, Juarez, Sinaloa, in Guadalajara and, more recently, the Millennium, have staged struggles and purges that also touched by government agents. But nothing like now. This new war is unprecedented nuances that make it look like the most cruel and ruthless.

Criminal groups have extended their field of battle (which means they have also expanded their network traffic) most of the country. For decades, fought in the streets of cities nestled in the states of Baja California, Sonora, Sinaloa, Durango, Chihuahua, Jalisco and Tamaulipas. During the last administration, with Vicente Fox, were extended to Nuevo Leon, whose capital, the rich industrial city of Monterrey, had been absent on executions and attacks on police. Also stressed their dispute over the capital, Mexico City, for Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Yucatán, Michoacán, Jalisco and Veracruz. Unrest led to peaceful entities, Aguascalientes and Queretaro.

The cartels have brought out increasingly powerful weapons, demonstrating its close relationship with a high-flying black market. In a riot of bold, in open challenge to state power is now represented in the Mexican army barracks attack with grenades and assault rifles, are wearing altibalas, wearing uniforms of government forces and rely on military equipment such as grenade launchers. It is increasingly common seizure of plastic explosives, for example, or of sophisticated surveillance equipment that previously had access only the government intelligence units.

The killings have become more violent and brazen. Emulating the tactics of radical Islamist groups in the Middle East and Central Asia (Al Qaeda, the Taliban), behead their opponents, thugs or police officers, and they make terrific videos then filtered to the press or up to the network. Traffickers and police heads, called "snitches" or ordinary civilians accused of "collaborating" appear next to roads and have come to throw in classrooms that develop holidays (as happened in a village in Michoacán) or have hung at the gates of the building of local power, as happened in the resort town of Acapulco.

The number of cartels that are fighting for control of drug trafficking in Mexico varies according to sources. The Attorney General's Office (PGR) estimates that drug trafficking is in the hands of two groups, led by Joaquin Guzman and Osiel Cardenas and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) says there are 30 large Mexican criminal organizations in charge of traffic drug. The Sub-Office of Special Investigation Organized Crime in Mexico (SIEDO) estimates that there are over 130 organized crime cells. The Attorney General's Office (PGR) number seven cartels operating within Mexico, the Juarez Cartel (Carrillo Fuentes), the Gulf cartel (Osiel Cardenas), the Tijuana Cartel (Arellano Felix), the Colima cartel ( Amezcua Contreras), the Sinaloa cartel (Palma-Guzmán Loera), the cartel Goals (Valencia) and the cartel of Oaxaca (Díaz Parada).

Mexico is a country that provides greater quantities of drugs into the U.S.. The drug market has changed, previously only devoted to trafficking marijuana, cocaine and opium, it has now diversified into the production and distribution of synthetic drugs. These changes in the market and the desire to control more territory is what has unleashed a wave of unbridled violence.

majority of the victims are members of rival cartels right?

they (mexican gov) ought to create autonomous, airtight attack cells instead of trying to police these places coz democratic procedures are pretty much useless, or design a short term martial law if possible and let the military muzzles be the judge, jury, and executioners for a change.

These drug cartel bastards have been fucking with people for decades. President calderon should call the drug war off and let these bastards deal drugs. This drug war is only killing innocent people by the thousands. Calderon should know that these creeps have bought off the Government and police to look the other way with cash for their organized crimes, You cannot take away what has already been given. And this "war" will NEVER stop the drug trade.

Haa, to a guy looking in you'd think it's that easy when in truth the Mexican Army is one of the rival cartels. America must know this yet she gives a billion in aid to Mexico every year.

Great post narco

[wolfie]

One guy was a thief so they cut both his hands off. The drug war is big business now. And despite the worthlessness of such a war it will never end.

You'd think eventually their numbers would be dwindling at this point??
