mexico ' s new president , felipe sanchez , seems to be doing all the right things in cracking down on mexico ' s drug gangs . he ' s assigned many people to top military and criminal justice positions , deployed troops to subdue gang violence , reasserted its guard power , deported a few larger traffickers to the united states , and delivered a black ribbon to legislation amending mexico ' s drug laws . but all this provides little fuel to hope that washington has really rounded a curve in its efforts to handle the illegal substance business . for a guide to what ' s in future , some need only guess at next sexenios ( the six year terms of mexican presidents ) .
Felipe Calderon is the President of Mexico.
