Murder has become the Lingua Franca of Mexico. No dispute too trivial for it's use to make a point.
Will the last one to leave the country please flush it.

"Javier Duarte, the governor of Veracruz, has instructed the state attorney general to investigate this unfortunate crime. No arrests have been made to date. The motive for the murder still remains unclear although some suspect that organized crime members are responsible. In a speech given earlier this morning, the governor reminded the people that in Veracruz, “there is no room for impunity or delinquency.”"

Gawd. Just have to wonder that after the US 2012 election, if a Republican gets elected (or maybe even if not), there will be a perfect storm of issues that could lead our war industry to succesfully lobby for an invasion of Mexico.

Just think about it. We've been pissing away billions of dollars and thousands of lives in the middle east, where many cynics will conclude that it's all about oil. Just what does Mexico have? Canada next!

Face it. Although Mexican proven reserves have been diminishing, the international oil lobby has long believed that if Mexico would allow joint exploration, there's a treasure trove of crude in the Gulf.

Given the US strategist needs for "oil independence" just imagine if we had the proven and projected reserves of both Canada and Mexico in our pocket.
