Bombs in Monterrey

Several days after someone shot up the outside of the American consulate in Monterrey, a few bombs were exploded in a street adjacent to the complex yesterday. For obvious reasons, drug cartels are suspected. Assuming that it is cartel henchmen behind the attacks, it seems like a monumentally bad move on their part. The US can't win the war on the drugs, but, properly provoked, it won't struggle too much in taking down on one individual organization. If, as some suspect, the attacks are a response from the Zetas to the indictments against the group's three leaders, than they demonstrate a fundamental misunderestimation of the obstinacy of the American government. This will surely make the push to arrest the trio more determined, not less.
