MORE CRIMINAL VIOLENCE IN A MEXICAN RESORT - THIS TIME CANCUN

LAST WEEK IN ACAPULCO AND PUERTA VALLARTA AND CUERNAVACA.

NOW IN CANCUN - 8 KILLED:
Six women and two men have been killed in an attack on a bar in the Mexican resort city of Cancun, officials say.

Witnesses told police that six armed men had thrown petrol bombs into the building early on Tuesday, setting it ablaze, Quintana Roo state attorney-general Francisco Alor said.

Investigators were examining the wreckage of the bar, he added.

According to one report, the business had been the target of attempts to extort money by the Zeta drugs cartel.

THE NARCO-TERRORISTS WANT TO TAKEOVER THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

OBAMA'S WEAKNESS IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR:

HE SUPPORTED THE COMMIE IN HONDURAS HE APPEASES CHAVEZ, HE DISSED COLOMBIA.

THIS SENDS A MESSAGE TO ALL OUR ENEMIES - AND THE ENEMIES OF OUR ALLIES: YOU CANNOT DEPEND ON THE USA AS LONG AS OBAMA IS POTUS.

IF WE WANT A STABLE NEIGHBOR IN MEXICO, THEN WE NEED A WALL AND WE NEED TO GET RID OF OBAMA.

UNTIL WE GET RID OF OBAMA, WE NEED TO HAMPER HIM - AND WE CAN DO THAT THIS NOVEMBER: VOTE GOP!

UPDATE: INSTAPUNDIT SEES WHAT I SEE:

A FRIEND EMAILS FROM MEXICO: “Shit’s about to collapse in MX and points south. It is frightening. I am seeing first hand, am traveling. Total anarchy and terror unfolding.” Well, that’s encouraging. All those counter-insurgency and nation-building skills we’ve honed in Iraq might come in handy closer to home.

Or, you know, we could just legalize drugs and pull the rug out from under the cartels.

UPDATE: A followup email:

It’s so complex. The USA unilaterally legalizing weed, as many have proposed, wouldn’t stop the violence — there are any number of possible outcomes to that. The causes are complex and brewed over time… all I know is that all signs are pointing to a far worsening situation down there, and increasing impact here.

Militarizing the border isn’t a solution, but having seen what I’ve seen, I’d be terrified if we weren’t hardening that border right now.

Time to come back to the States, I think.

MORE: Reader Michael Ubaldi emails:

Speaking of Iraq: I’m sure academics could explain how Mexican drug gangs are totally unlike insurgents in Iraq, but I tell you, the groups’ modus operandi sound awfully similar. One marked difference, of course, is that few try to justify the gangs’ actions.

The world will take a big step forward when it understands that violent people are simply violent people.

Indeed.

  1. With BHO in office, things in Mexico are only going to get worse.

    Furthermore, the trouble will be spreading to our side of the border.
