Juarez in '05 was ok. There still was a few things going on but not as bad as now. I'll admit I loved going to Juarez to visit family and going shopping and go to clubs up until a year ago. But now even with the military there, there is less of a chance for me to go. The Mexican military is to be trusted as much as the cartels. I say this from experience by having my cousin murdered by them just in Nov. I will say that I have no problem going to the southern part of Mexico but the northern part of Mexico I will not go to until the military is out and the cartels can be managed but I really doubt that is going to happen anytime soon. As for anything spilling over into EP I agree with epchick as long as the high ranking officials are living there and also the connection with Barrio Azteca and Los Aztecas things are bound to happen.
