How the Disappearance of 43 Students Has Tested Mexicos President
Mexico recently seemed to be on the fast track to becoming a safer country under the guidance of newly elected President Enrique Pea Nieto. But the recent disappearance of 43 students in the southwestern city of Iguala  and the apparent involvement of the local mayor in their vanishing  has overshadowed Pea Nieto's attempt to crack down on pervasive gang violence and restore order in Mexico. "This event gave Pea Nieto a bloody nose," said George W. Grayson, a professor at the College of William  Mary who studies drug trafficking groups. "It has demonstrated that his attempted security policy simply hasn't functioned adequately and there are two Mexicos the modern Mexico that the President embraces, but also the Mexico Bronco  a wild, savage Mexico.", Mexicans are now wondering if their government is withholding information on the missing students for political reasons  and whether any politician can hope to control the "Mexico Bronco."
