It is worth a shot , but it is going to take more than removing one man and replacing him , To begin to stop the Cartels !
Peace through superior Firepower , Would be a better way !

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon removed his attorney general on Monday to try to revamp a war against drug cartels that have resisted an army campaign to defeat them.
Calderon told reporters that Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora, who spearheaded the government's fight against drug trafficking, had resigned and would be replaced by a little-known former legal official.
A crackdown by thousands of troops and federal police has been unable to suppress turf wars between rival cartels that have killed more than 13,000 people since Calderon took power in late 2006.
Calderon has staked his presidency on his war on drugs, but cartels are killing about 20 people a day in Mexico -- often after torturing them -- and traffickers have infiltrated many state and municipal police forces.
A large deployment of troops in the city of Ciudad Juarez, on the border with Texas, has not slowed a wave of drug killings there.
