The bloodiest war ever fought in North America was the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1917. I've read estimates of up to 3 million deaths in that bloodbath. It's the memory of this disaster that has helped keep the civil peace in Mexico since then. Unfortunately memories fade and history may repeat itself. Such a tragedy.

Good morning.
"Unfortunately memories fade and history may repeat itself. Such a tragedy."
Beyond the passing of time, we also have Chavez & Fidel stirring the pot.
Chavez will be able to provide AKs and RPGs. Maybe Katyushas as well. It might get interesting along the border.

One of the reasons that the PRI was able to maintain it's power so long was that Mexicans valued stability over democracy during most of the last century. Their brief democratic experiment in the early 20th century ended in catastrophe. Now, once again, we see the prospects of similar disaster. Pobre Mexico.
