MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's new president was sworn into office Friday in a brief ceremony that interrupted a morning of intermittent brawling between his supporters and opponents in the national congress.
I am not certain this episode is over yet. I am not unconvinced that this entire thing might yet turn into a shooting conflict. Just imagine the surge of refugees flowing across the southern border. Real trouble in Mexico would invariably mean real trouble in the United States - the details are too numerous to even consider at any great length.
We really never seriously consider how quickly our artificial world could be turned asunder - a financial shake-up, combined with social and civil unrest to the south and all of that spilling over into the US.
