Philip Caputo's article from The Atlantic published December 2009 argues that Mexico's former president Felipe Calderon has established a war with the major drug cartels. Three years ago since Felipe Calderon equipped the Mexican Army to fight against these powerful drug cartels nearly about 14,000 people have been killed. Most of these crimes have occured in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuaha. Jorge Luis Aguirre, a former writer for the LaPolaka.com an online news service in Juarez asserts that he recieved an annoymous call from a male saying "“You’re next, son of a b****". He immediatly felt threaten by this caller and moved with his family to El Paso. This call of threat was due to that Jorge Luis Aguirre used to talk about the corruption happening in Chihuaha. Based on statistics and data out of the 14,000 people that have been killed during these last three years fewer than 100 have been soldiers. The Mexican Drug Cartels are killing each other. Even though Mexico's last war was the Mexican Revolution, Mexico's former president Felipe Calderon feels as if this Mexican Drug Cartel's are becoming a war. Felipe Calderon has done everything he can to try and stop this problem, but we have to admit that the major drug cartel's are stronger than the president. They have managed to keep the cartel going without anyone stopping them. Philip Caputo's purpose is to show evidence that the major Mexican Cartel's are being a major problem for Felipe Calderon to repair.

Application Question: Can these powerful Mexican Drug Cartel's contribute to a war with the Mexican Army ?
Style Question: If this issue is getting to hard to end for the Mexican Government, can the American Government have a say so to end this complication of Mexican Drug Cartels ?
war?probably not,at least not in the literal sense.mexico has an extremely corrupt government,which means that there are most likely government officials being paid under the table by several drug cartels to keep their mouths closed about the extremities of actions of said cartels.sure there will be a more rampant war on drugs, but it will not be full blown total war.
