Guajardo was a strong critic of the infiltration of drug gangs in the November mayoral elections. That took a lot of courage. It seems like anytime one hears about a Mexican public figure trying to do something about the drug gangs, the next thing you know, that person is assassinated. So people who could be good leaders and help Mexico develop are constantly being eliminated.

It was only a decade ago that Sicillian politicians and "il popoli" started to protest about La Cosa Nostra and the code of "Omerta." Let's hope that the folks in the border towns get some stones re the Narcotraficos.
A shame as northern Mexico away from the border is a relatively prosperous and peaceful area (see Monterrey, Durango, etc.). Juarez is the worst city north of DF.
