The Mexican volcano may be about to erupt

DallasBlog.com | Scott Bennett:

“Over the past month I have talked to a [variety of Mexicans]. First, none of them will allow their names to be used because they are afraid of violent reprisals albeit from differing sources. Second, they believe Mexico is on the verge of a social implosion that will greatly complicate US and Mexican relations. Third, not one thinks there is any way out.”

Ed Cognoski responds:

Just when Scott Bennett and the Dallas Blog have me thinking that Mexico is about to implode, I pick up BusinessWeek and read this article:

I guess it was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
