Wasn't there recent media about legalising low level drugs? If the problem isn't resolved, then maybe this will need to be considered?

Also President Calderon is nearing the end of a mandatory 6 year period, so who knows if the next presiding president will continue this war or not.

I say it will continue as it is going to start spilling over into the US in a big way.

There is a major representation of people on low incomes from Mexico and other LatAm countries in the US, and there are many members of cartels and gangs further south from Mex that are well established in the US, so when things do spill over, it could seriously have an impact at the local level just as it has been in Mexico.

Crime war doesnt care about victims.
