| #3 Hopefully, we can avoid another Pancho Villa raid on the US during this current Mexican civil war. I am afraid that Obambi would blame the American townspeople and send the feds in to round them up, not to go after the Mexican banditos. |

| #2 Anon: you speak wisdom on this point. The "armed phase" of the Mexican Revolution was 1910-1920. It took Lazaro Cardenas in the late thirties to put the lid on. Seems like the pot is ready to boil over again. )): |

| #1 This is very bad from a geographical and Mexican political point of view. Torreon is the psychological "halfway point" from the US border to Mexico City. To a lot of Mexicans, this might look far like a civil war than a gang war, and they are still culturally traumatized by the last civil war. Their equivalent of "reconstruction" from that last civil war only ended in the 1940s. |
