EL PASO - Mexico is one of two countries that "bear consideration for
a rapid and sudden collapse," according to a report by the U.S. Joint
Forces Command on worldwide security threats.
The command's "Joint Operating Environment (JOE 2008)" report, which
contains projections of global threats and potential next wars, puts
Pakistan on the same level as Mexico. "In terms of worse-case
scenarios for the Joint Force and indeed the world, two large and
important states bear consideration for a rapid and sudden collapse:
Pakistan and Mexico.
"The Mexican possibility may seem less likely, but the government, its
politicians, police and judicial infrastructure are all under
sustained assault and press by criminal gangs and drug cartels. How

cartel, and his archrival, Eduardo Teodoro Garcia Simental. Mexico is

that internal conflict turns out over the next several years will have
a major impact on the stability of the Mexican state. Any descent by
Mexico into chaos would demand an American response based on the
serious implications for homeland security alone."
The U.S. Joint Forces Command, based in Norfolk, Va., is one of the
Defense Departments combat commands that includes members of the
different military service branches, active and reserves, as well as
civilian and contract employees. One of its key roles is to help
transform the U.S. military's capabilities.
In the foreword, Marine Gen. J.N. Mattis, the USJFC commander, said
"Predictions about the future are always risky ... Regardless, if we
do not try to forecast the future, there is no doubt that we will be
caught off guard as we strive to protect this experiment in democracy
that we call America."
The report is one in a serious focusing on Mexico's internal security
problems, mostly stemming from drug violence and drug corruption. In
recent weeks, the Department of Homeland Security and former U.S. drug
czar Barry McCaffrey issued similar alerts about Mexico.
Despite such reports, El Pasoan Veronica Callaghan, a border business
leader, said she keeps running into people in the region who "are in
denial about what is happening in Mexico."
Last week, Mexican President Felipe Calderon instructed his embassy
and consular officials to promote a positive image of Mexico.
The U.S. military report, which also analyzed economic situations in
other countries, also noted that China has increased its influence in
places where oil fields are present.
