Narco Wars Update

I dont think i am personally in any danger but the head count is pretty horrific, ) bodies found beheaded friday, a machine-gunning at a local restaurant killing many, and a shitload more over saturday and sunday totally 42 DEAD. What is this coming to, this is more dead than Iraq for Gawds sake. The rumour around here is that is is corrupt police that are in the pay of the Drug lords that are the contract killers, which makes it easy for them to do it and hide afterwards and cover everything up. It seems that the army has been trying to replace the police and make it harder for them to do all the corrupt things but quite obviously it isn't working, the locals say it is the drug lords that are winning, makes me wonder why the politicians don't legalise all drugs, make them safe and clean and cheap and take away all the money from the drug lords, but what would you do with an underclass that live off the drug money and have expensive lifestyles, is it easier to deal with the criminals this way or have them robbing old ladies in the street as the normal alternative. Either way we need to do soemthing, leaving this horrendous mess is trying to convince everyone that we are winning the ar when we are quite simply just messing about and making these guys rich and more powerful than the Government. By the way mexican food is really fantastic.

OK, I am now all caught up on your entries here. Whew...don't know why I neglected this so long. I am sick of reading about all the "beheadings" close to your location. I have gone to Cancun (since '89), and although it is on the other coast - I wonder how the drug industry is flourishing there. I was used to the Federalis and their weapons patrolling the beaches, but nasty drug dealers scares the bejeezus out of me. Please stay safe.

Its nice to know that people realise that we boys in the field are leading pretty miserable lives and need to feel connected to folks we know back home. It takes some of the isolation away, but yes the narcos in MExico are very scarey people. Glad i got out OK

keep in touch, i am sure that we will meet up someday at your house at a party for Zac

speak to you later

Dave in the jungle
