#1 I think Mexico has heated up enough to have its own separate category.

#2 Let's see if it dies down (not likely but possible ) or spills over to other countries first.

In the meanwhile, badanov has spearheaded our new More Mexican Mayhem feature, which alas seems to be a daily entry.

#3 The average is about 10 killed per day so far this week in the five northern states which Spanish language newspapers I can check on line, Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua, Coahuila and Sonora, the great majority from Chihuahua.

We're doing a better job of covering Northern Mexico than we first started, so we will see in a month or so if this is getting worse or better.

Tomorrow a translated story will be posted at rantburg.com that will finally put paid to the idea that what is going on in Mexico is indeed terrorism by any definition.

#4 Tijuana seems to have settled down a bit - either the drug cartel wars are over and consolidating or the Mex Feds have taken a stronger hand. The worst violence seems to be over...for now
