Beginning in December 2006, new Mexican President Felipe Calderon launched renewed federal efforts to combat drug-related crime in Mexico. Despite the campaign's significant successes, drug-related violence in Mexico has intensified since then. According to Mexican government statistics, fatalities from fighting between drug cartels, combat between cartels and Mexican authorities, and other drug-related violence has risen from 2,826 in 2007 to 15,273 in 2010. A total of 37,632 drug violence-related deaths are reported in Mexico from 2006 to mid-February 2011.

Drug war analysis doesn't usually end with the author saying '... but that's really just a thought experiment.' A friend and colleague of mine who has done extensive research in the field with regard to the drug trafficking world, says more often than not that 'nobody really knows what's going on.' That's a fair argument, as criminals and drug traffickers usually don't have annual meetings with the shareholders showing of their strategies for the next fiscal year. It's a closed, shadowy world where misinformation is just as common as in an actual war.
