The murder of an employee at the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez, her husband and the husband of another consular employee are terrible. It sounds unfeeling to add that this will be a devastating blow to tourism. Thus far, no tourists have been caught up in the narcotics wars, but the very fact that they are going on discourages travel. Thousands have died, but almost all have had ties to organized crime or law enforcement agencies. This does not convince potential travelers to Mexico this is not another Iraq, only more deadly.
