#3 Mexico had better start to reconsider its opposition to the death penalty, and soon. It is not impossible that they could return to the utter horror of their Civil War.

To recap, Mexico under Porfirio Diaz was like Iran under the Shah, pushed to modern development too quickly. But unlike Iran, when Mexico fell apart, it was like the Spanish Civil War--a horrific bloodbath.

Almost a million people were butchered in eleven years of chaos. It ended because of the PRI party and its iron fisted approach.

Any civil war today would not be a popular uprising, but more like gangs oppress the people of Iraq. Literally a war against the government and the people.

#5 Authorities were trying to determine if the heads belonged to two decapitated bodies discovered Friday in a vacant lot on the edge of Acapulco, near the small beach community of Pie de La Cuesta.

No, they probably belong to two other decapitated bodies. Sheesh.
