Battle of Juarez

Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Culloden in Scotland back in 1746. I intended to do a blog entry on that.

But a much more important issue has come to the forefront. There is a wild west battle going on just a few miles from my house between the Drug Lords, the clean police and the corrupt police, and Mexican state government, and the Mexican Federal Government.

Ironically yesterday I had a couple of men working at my house doing some landscaping. It turns out that the helper is a Juarez policeman. Just to get by financially he is moonlighting in El Paso doing manual labor.

The New York Times has published an excellent and timely article on what is going on just across the border from El Paso, Texas U.S.A. This is a very important issue and I would encourage all to read this article.
