Mexican soldiers fill Juárez streets

I will never go to Jaurez , I skirt around this entire Area ! Military patrols are going to become major targets for attacks .
All this will probably lead to an escalation of violence , Once the Mexican Military starts doing more the Cartels will start Killing more ! It's a matter of to little to late !!!

JUÁREZ - Army vehicles carrying five or six masked soldiers travel in twos. In the Downtown tourist district, people are greeted by dozens of Mexican soldiers and federal police officers in SWAT gear. More soldiers are stationed on rooftops.

On Monday, the day after the Mexican government announced that 3,200 more soldiers had arrived, Juárez was visibly different from a month ago. But while the Army and police presence was obvious with more than 8,000 soldiers and law officers on the streets, their effectiveness remained in question.

"I hope things get better, but I think they are going to get worse," said Sergio Lozano Renteria, 37, a Juárez native. "I haven't seen the Army make a difference. Things are getting worse every day, and every day more and more people get killed."

So far in 2009, more than 300 homicides have been committed in Juárez, including nine last weekend. In 2008, about 1,600 people died violently. Decapitated bodies, executions and mid-day ambushes on busy streets became everyday occurrences.
