What do you find interesting? It's old news really, except that they have a turf war going on amongst the drug people. They've been killing women in Juarez for years, and nothing is happening about it, allegely because law enforcement is inbolved. Just curious... this doesn't make the newspapers in Kansas? If you are taking it that Juarez is typical of Mexico as a whole it is not, and not even all that typical of the border towns, which the Mexicans call "the armpit of the world." Acoma and Laredo are reasonably safe last I heard. Palomas is having its own turf war though. Once you get away from the sleaze of the border though, much of Mexico is very friendly and quite safe.
