Rural Mexican villages dig moats to repel gangsters | Chronicle | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
The chaos in Mexico is horrific. The article says 6000 people were killed in the drug wars last year, and this year is expected to be as bad. These tiny villages were raided by 15 SUVs full of armed bandits who kidnapped five people. It is like something out of The Magnificent Seven, except it is happening in 2009.

Mexico should be the next nation visited by the pope. It seems to becoming as nearly violent, tribal and lawless as many African nations where Pope Benedict XVI is now touring.
