"This displays the great rot in our institutions," Mexican poet Javier Sicilia, who is organizing protests against the violence, said Wednesday, according to the Houston Chronicle. "All of us have serious shortcomings and criminal complicities disguised as legality that have plunged us into chaos."

The Mexican government says the cartels are not insurgents because they are not trying to overthrow the Mexican government, nor do they adhere to a political ideology. Maybe, that's because the cartels already control key elements of the government, such as Mexico's police officers.
Another example of failed governance.
