ZIHUATANEJO, Mexico -- Andr?s Sauzo collects newspapers, astoundingly grisly newspapers.
There's the one with the close-up shot of a severed human head. There's the one with the wide-angle of a man hacked to death with a machete.
But the worst in his bulky archive of drug-war gore rolled off the presses the day after someone found pieces of what used to be Sauzo's 24-year-old namesake. A hit man had decapitated Sauzo's son, then chopped off his arms and legs. The killer was so unconcerned about being brought to justice that he scrawled his own name and nickname -- "El Barby" -- on a note left with the mutilated corpse.

The upheaval may be an unintended consequence of Mexico's seismic political shift away from the autocratic 71-year rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which lost power in 2000, said Jorge Monta?o, a Mexican political analyst who was ambassador to the United States and to the United Nations. President Vicente Fox's National Action Party has greatly improved government transparency and hastened the evolution of Mexico's democracy, but it has also struggled to maintain order and improve Mexico's criminal justice system."We moved very quickly from a government that was too tough to a government that has lost control," Monta?o said.
Ping.

NEW LEFT CREDO:
The US should get out of Mexican affairs so we won't antagonize world opinion. This is a civil war, not sectarian violence. Bring the tourists home.

The Aztecs were leaders in human sacrifice. Todays Mexican barbarism is a cultural inheritance of this. Pagan holidays such as "Day of the Dead". How Catholic are the Mexicans??
