This month, about 26 people a day are dying from criminal and terrorist violence a day in Iraq.That's lower than the death toll in northern Mexico, which on a bad day (like last November 3rd) saw 58 people killed.
The police are generally helpless, hundreds of thousands of middle-class Mexicans have fled the border region, often to the United States.
Those without money must hunker down and wait for someone to win this war. The drug gangs show no signs of weakening, although the army believes that it can prevail in the next year or so.
