2010 will mark the bicentennial of Mexico's war of liberation from Spain and the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. As the country plunges into the most severe economic collapse since the Great Depression, President Felipe Calderon will spend billions of pesos to celebrate the twin centennials, a mistake dictator Porfirio Diaz made on the eve of the Mexican Revolution. As it was a hundred years ago, social discontent is at fever pitch and some are anticipating violent uprising in 2010.
