This most likely has been addressed already, but how dangerous is it REALLY in Mexico at this time?
I have been yearning to go back, but I gather different perspectives about the situation in Mexico. Many say it is too dangerous, and others says it is dangerous only in certain areas. What's the truth?

I would imagine it depends on what kind of people you run into.
Aren't most of those being killed parts of rival drug gangs?

From what I've read the border & the northern states in general, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Tamaulipas &c. are currently the most dangerous areas, along with a few others such as Michoacan. Southern states like Oaxaca & Chiapas are reputed to be a good deal safer. Anecdotally, I can say that several persons with whom I've recently spoken, who are themselves Mexicans, have told me that they won't be visiting anymore due to the savagery of the doper gangs, whereas before they had made it a custom to go every year, usually to the border areas in Coahuila & Nuevo Leon.. There was a detailed report giving statistics for each state on the internet but now I can't find it, I guess that it must've have been taken down. There is a report put out by the U.S. State Dept. which deals with the level of danger in Mexico by state, but it gives no statistics as far as the number of drug-related murders &c.
