MEXICO CITY - On its 200th birthday, Mexico wants its citizens -- and the world -- to forget its vicious drug war and have a day without massacres, beheadings or shootouts.
Mexico wants its people to remember the country's epic history, music, whimsical folk art and continuing crusade for wider prosperity and democracy.
All that was on display Wednesday with a $40 million fiesta that's been two years in the making.

Eight killed following shootout on highway to Monterrey
http://www.valleycentral.com/news/story.aspx?id=512215
At least eight people were reportedly killed in a gun battle that took place on highway between Ciudad Mier and Monterrey.
Action 4 News learned the battle took place near General Treviño, Nuevo Leon earlier today.
Nuevo Leon state prosecutors confirmed that forensic specialists were sent to gather evidence at the crime scene and move eight bodies to the morgue.
The deadly shootout took place down the highway from the scene of a shootout that left 25 gunmen dead in a ranch outside of Ciudad Mier, Tamaulipas.
Ciudad Mier is located south of the border from the Starr and Zapata County lines
