2. The levels of violence in Mexico's prohibition wars is almost Iraq-like.

Nearly 30,000 Mexican army troops deployed at various hot spots.

59 people killed in the prohibition wars between Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday, nine more by Tuesday, who knows how many since then?

200 people killed in the wars in Ciudad Juarez so far this year alone.

Bodies of informants thrown in front of army posts with mutilated hands in their mouths and warnings for army generals.

RPG attacks, heavy weaponry, beheadings, lots of dead cops/lots of corrupt cops

And Mexico continues to pay the price for America's war on the drugs it hates to love (or loves to hate).
