I think every guest in Mexico should be issued a machine gun when they get their FMT.

The upswing in miltary is due to the fact that the Rosarito police are still waiting for their guns to be returned to them. The Federales are driving
the police trucks for now and patrolling the streets. Hugo Torres seems to feel that the very visible presence of the military will show the tourists
that everything is safe. yikes! Word on the street is that things are going to stay tense for about two more weeks- when the police return.

That's the problem. Machine guns have, unfortunately, become the norm. |
In 1976 while living in El Salvador at La Libertad, we used to sit in the arched window of the abandoned little Chapel at the Cemetary at sunrise and
check the surf. 20 years later, Surfer magazine does a spread article on Bob Rotherhams ripper son Jimmy, raise up on the longest point barrel wave
in the Eastern Pacific, with him sitting in same arch window with the walls around it riddled with bullet holes, looking like what sprays of machine
gun fire would look like. It broke my heart.
I truely hope it doesn't come to that anywhere in Baja, or I'm moving off the continent.

I agree with David K,The Mexican government needs to continue to show more force to drive the bad guys out.We were in Rosarito ,on our way home from
Santispec the first part of January. There were groups of three trucks full of machine gun totting officers ,both federales and policia, patrolling
the main streets.

going on . She said mucho banditos. . Don't know what it was about, but glad we could get out quick. You never know when you'll be in the middle of a
shoot out and get caught in the crossfire. k  |
The exact same movie was playing Saturday morning, Feb. 2nd at 11:30 AM Cars were lined up south bound as the Federales were checking all the cars.
I have the LLAVE pass and went to the right to enter the LLAVE lane and went unnoticed.
There were perhaps 15 official cars from various organizations. Many officers from different agencies had rifles and automatic weapons at the ready.

Their presence may shift from place to place but, they won't be driven out. They have to be eradicated. Killed. Mexico must engage her enemy and
assume the losses which are a part of war. If the US could just bring troops home from Iraq and loan them to Mexico, we would be involved in a war
worth fighting.
I know...to think that would ever happen is ludicrous but, I can dream.
