Tex-Mex Brief

Yes, peace is only a brief -- and a buried one at that.  

"Mexican poet leads march for peace

EL PASO — A well-known Mexican poet whose son was killed by drug gang members has brought his call for peace to the United States. Javier Sicilia gathered about 1,500 followers during a weeklong peace march that ended Friday in Ciudad Juárez, the most violent city in Mexico. He crossed into Texas and spoke to hundreds of supporters at a park in downtown El Paso. He says he wants justice for American citizens and residents who have been killed in Mexico."
