#2 Intervention in Mexico by the US would be pointless, because its problem will be much like Pakistan. And the Mexicans will be equally obstinate about Americans in Mexico.

Parts of northern and southern Mexico will be like FATA and the NWFP. Bandito leaders will arise and the central government and the army will be internally divided and weak.

The average Mexican doesn't want a civil war, so it won't look like a civil war at first. Instead it will look much like this current drug war between gangs.

The D.F. will remain untouched, like with their last civil war. A whole handful of other countries will want to involve themselves, however.

Sorry to all. It's a .pdf and I should have noted that. It just worked for me, but the pdf may be the problem.
