The start of 2010 has shown that drug cartel related violence has not slowed down in Mexico. With 69 drug related murders in one day, the start of the year isn't boding well for Mexico's War on Drugs. Though President Calderon announced his war on drug cartels in 2006 the violence over drugs is escalating--and not just with mere numbers. Drug lords are committing more grotesque crimes and murders than ever before, fueling even further fear. Many seem to blame the demand from the United States for drugs and the high levels of unemployment in Mexico as causes for the rise in violence.
