Former Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda, speaking here in Houston in September, gave a frank and frightening assessment of the situation in his country.

"Very clearly, we have an enormous challenge in Mexico, regarding drugs, regarding criminality and regarding law enforcement in general," Castaneda said. "And this, by the way, is not just an issue for the United States because of the border and because, obviously, part of the Mexican drug problem has to do with U.S. demand for drugs either produced in Mexico or passing through Mexico."
