This story really upsets me because people have been going nuts about Mexico for a while now but not everywhere is so bad. This place is Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo which is a beautiful place and also the destination of my spring break trip. I have been there twice already and the place is amazing and it is easy to stay out of trouble. The ones who get in trouble and end up having problems are the ones whom provoke them not the ones who stay out of trouble. All people have been reporting about Mexico is bad things because of the Drug War but America should be backing Mexico if there stance is anti-drug which almost every political stance is. The news should be focusing more on how beautiful Mexico is but blood is what makes news so it does not surprise me that this is the only thing being reported. The times I have been down there I have been able to stay out of trouble but also never heard any gun fire or bombs or rockets so I am going down with an open mind and other people should too. The only place that is really bad is the border towns which SHOULD be avoided, not the entire country.
The other reasons why this article bugs me is because they seem so nonchalant about the smuggling of Miltary weapons into the country and that they cannot find the cause of it. If the military is missing weapons or has a rouge person sellling these weapons to the drug lords it should be stopped. They should put a stronger enforcement on keeping tack of weapons because grenades and guns and missles are large items to be missing.
