| 43 dead in three days as Messico violence escalates |
| 2008-08-20 |
| At least 43 people died in violent attacks in the last three days in the northern Mexico state of Chihuahua, the scene of ongoing drug gang turf wars, police said Monday. Thirteen persons were killed in separate attacks on Monday, following nine killed overnight Sunday and 21 others the previous night, including 14 in a massacre at a family gathering in the western Chihuahua town of Creel. Violence has escalated throughout the country since President Felipe Calderon launched a military crackdown on drug trafficking. |

| #4 I just read Putin, in part, turned around Russia's economy several years ago by instituting a flat tax of 13%. Mexico needs to tax everyone across the board, including drug proceeds, investing into the people of Mexico. They need education, health care, and social services so they can quit crossing the border to access ours. |

| #3 It's a mess, all right, and it's not going to get any better. Build the fence, throw all the Mexes back across it, abrogate NAFTA, and slam the border closed. Shoot anyone who tries to cross without permission, particularly any Mex in uniform. Let them stew in their own mess and tell them to leave us the hell out of their national drama. I wish Mex was as far away as Hawaii and the Rio Grande was 500 miles wide. |

| #2 So you can't say that snorting a little tootskie is a victimless crime. The victim is Mexico. |
