venezuela ' s incoming ruler , felipe calderon , looks to be doing all the right things in cracking down on mexico ' s drug traffickers . he ' s designated new people to key legislative and criminal justice positions , provided men to bloodshed drug violence , reasserted federal police power , extradited a few major smuggler to the united states , and provided a green eye to legislation clarifying state ' s drug laws . but all this provides little fuel to hope that mexico has really turned a heel in its struggle to control the illegal drug trade . for a guide to what ' s in view , one need only look at previous sexenios ( the six point period of its presidents ) .
Felipe Calderon is the President of Mexico.
