I had not been following this story at all until I heard on FNC that 41 Americans have gone missing in Mexico in the last year alone.
That is an ASTOUNDING number and it's distressing to realize how under-reported these disappearances have been.
And the whole mess is who's fault? Guess. From other story - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1457761/posts -
Suneson, like other Nuevo Laredo residents, blamed the consumption of narcotics in the United States for the city's violence. He called for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to provide more intelligence to Mexican officials in order to effectively clamp down on the drug gangs operating on the border.
"They need to come in here and clean this place up" Suneson said. "It's not an impossible task. It just takes political will."
