Retired Army General Barry McCaffrey has closely followed events in Mexico since he was the White House anti-drug czar in the 1990s, and he has never been so worried. The violence generated by the drug cartels has grown so deadly, McCaffrey says, and the police and prosecutors are under such sustained attack, "that if it were not for the armed forces, Mexico's institutions would be fundamentally at peril." At a Belfer Center seminar at Harvard Kennedy School, McCaffrey described a Mexican government and security services under brutal siege even as the state deploys 45,000 soldiers to combat the drug cartels.
