Mexico....The New Middle East

Who needs Muslim terrorists when you have the ever enchanting Mexico right next door.

Gunmen storm a party kill 17 people and wound 18 people.

Terrorist Mexican who admitted shooting at a U.S. Airman last year and is tied to 25 slayings, is the prime suspect in a car bombing that took place this week in Juárez Mexico. 3 were killed 20 injured.

Schools across Mexico are teaching students to dive to the floor and cover their heads as urban gunfights between drug gangs multiply in the violence-torn country.

They even make little video's....Drug gang hit man narrates assassination of prosecutor in Mexico.

And of course the beheadings...Dozens of people have been decapitated in recent months, most of them apparently members of rival drug gangs locked in turf battles over narcotics routes, betrayals of loyalty and territorial influence.

Then there is the treatment of women...As many as six out of every 10 Central American women and girls are raped as they pass through Mexico hoping to cross illegally into the United States.

Time to stop pretending they are our friends to the south.
