Mexico's president says "enough" to drug hitmen

I wonder if it is time for Mexico to hire some Professional Security since the military and police are so weak.

Reuters AlertNet - Mexico's president says "enough" to drug hitmen: "Mexican President Felipe Calderon said on Friday the country was sick and tired of rampant drug violence after five high-ranking policemen were killed in less than a week.

'We have to come together to confront this evil, we Mexicans have to definitively and categorically say, 'That's enough!',' Calderon said. 'We can't accept this situation, we have to take back our streets.'

He spoke after attending the funeral of regional commissioner Edgar Millan, one of Mexico's top federal policemen, who was murdered on Thursday by hired killers waiting for him at his home.

Calderon has deployed tens of thousands of soldiers and federal police around the country to bring powerful drug cartels under control, but the army has failed to reduce spiraling violence.

More than 2,500 people were killed in drug related violence in Mexico last year. Another 1,100 people have died so far this year as the drug gangs battle each other and security forces."
