I see you haven't been reading drug wars too close to home, but that's okay. Decapitated bodies littered about, dozens of people killed every week, soldiers roaming the streets --

and yet, I feel safe, over here.

The major problem, I think, is cultural. La mordida, corruption, and bribery, are so ingrained. They've never had an honest police or military there. The only solution is a campaign of cultural change, to stress honesty, and train and pay their peacekeepers appropriately.
