Iraq safer than Mexico

There’s a civil war happening……in Mexico. Back on December 1st there was this story – Drug Terrorists decapitate 9 just south of US Border.

Strategy Page is reporting Mexico: Iraq is Safer.

December 15, 2008: This month, about 26 people a day are dying from criminal and terrorist violence a day in Iraq. That’s a bit lower than the death toll in northern Mexico, which on a bad day (like last November 3rd) saw 58 people killed.

December 1, 2008: Mexican media reported that November 2008 was the deadliest month in Mexico’s now two-year old Cartel War. Over 700 people (one source reported 701 to be precise) were killed in November. 669 were killed in October 2008. That brings the death toll for 2008 to somewhere between 4900 and 5100 murders. One source reported 4961, another 5024. Still, the Mexican government can point to some progress in reducing kidnappings since launching an anti-kidnapping initiative as part of its August 2008 national security accord. The government reported that kidnappings since September have averaged 72 a month. This is down from an average of 90 a month (January through August 2008). But remember several things about all of these numbers — they rely on reported and investigated crimes. That said, the 2008 death toll is another indicator that Mexico is a country at war.

There’s a more information at Strategy Page. Wake up America, build a fence on our southern border and eliminate illegal immigration!
