Mexican president in Vegas


Addressing the World Travel and Tourism Council in Las Vegas, Mexican President Felipe Calderon said that cities like Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans are more dangerous than any place in his own country. While nearly 35,000 people have died as drug smugglers battle each other, the Mexican military and police, the number of tourists caught up in such battles can be counted on the fingers of one hand, Calderon added.
