How has the mainstream media been able to disguise the war of liberation in Mexico as a drug war for so long?

It's obvious to even the least savvy observer of the violence in Mexico that it is not a drug war carried out by criminals but a war of independence along the lines of Poncho Villa...The Mexican people have been oppressed for so long that it's amazing that it has taken this long for them to rise up and overthrow their corrupt government and create a Hugo Chavez type Social Democracy...

Your statement is far from the truth.
I live in Mexico & a revolution is another thing. This is a drug war and serious.

I live in Colombia, and I can assure you that Chavez is a nut. Social Democracy? Why not call it what it really is: A Communist State.

When one of the drug lords wins, there will be peace. However, the people will be just as oppressed, perhaps even more.

Their government is too afraid to even try to stop this war. It would be horrible if the US forces got involved in this situation due to the killings of US citizens.
