What is the US role in Juarez?

How are US policies towards Mexico impacting the socio-economic landscape in the border town of Juarez? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Charles Bowden, author of Murder City: the Ciudad Juarez and the Global Economy's New Killing Fields. Ciudad Juarez, across the river from El Paso, Texas, has become the murder capital of the world, three times more violent than Baghdad. So what explains the rise in drug related violence in Juarez and the rest of Mexico?

Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What should we do on this side of the border to stop the flow of drugs? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
