Mexico is going the way of failed state.

You have to be nuts to go over the border these days.

More than 100 people have been killed in this city across from Laredo, Texas, since January, including 15 municipal police officers. Authorities have blamed the violence on a fight between Mexico's two most powerful drug gangs to control local smuggling routes across the U.S. border.

Note the location!! This is also causing jitters in Laredo as fear of the crime wave spreading across the border. Basically there is no government in that Mexican city, it is anarchy. jdn
