The Unraveling of Mexico
It continues:
Eleven decapitated bodies have been found outside the city of Merida on the Yucatan peninsula, heightening fears that Mexico's recent descent into violence has reached even heavily protected tourist areas.Part of me really wants this issue to be discussed in the upcoming debates. The wiser part of me knows that our cable news knuckleheads don't have a prayer in hell of figuring out why this is all happening - and it will just keep promoting the idea that we have to build walls and shake our fists at the bad guys.
All the bodies showed signs of torture and were tattooed with star signs and the letter āZā, suggesting that they had fallen victim to the country's growing drug war, which has left more than 2,700 dead so far this year.
