Is Mexico getting serious about Drug enforcement

[Redleg]

I wonder if the President of Mexico will be successful in his attempt to remove some of the corruption and crime from the drug cratels in his country?

Opposition politicians and residents alike have expressed doubt about how much of an impact the president's highly publicized actions will have. President Vicente Fox sent thousands of soldiers and federal police to drug-embattled towns and arrested several major drug kingpins during his six-year term, but the actions appeared to spark more violence, as the criminals still at large battled to take over the smuggling routes of those killed or detained.

"This is not an easy task nor will it be fast," Calderon said Wednesday. "It will take a long time, imply using enormous resources and even unfortunately the loss of human lives."

But, the president added, "if we continue working as we have been until now, our cities and our land will not remain in the hands of criminals, but in that of honest people who work to help their families get ahead."
