Ummm...don't you think the cartels are already controlled by factions of US.inc....?
I mean just look at how the poppy...blossomed...after our country making in Afghanistan...they're now the number one producer...and an epidemic of heroin...into every small and large American community...
Why invade Mexico when we already control the cartels...
Drugs are a trillion dollar business...and Unk Sam is neck deep in distribution...
Problem...Action...Solution...

Sadly, you are right. This is the most accurate post of the bunch. How naive to believe the US military is intervening to "help" another country, there is always an ulterior motive. Where were they in the Rwanda genocides? There was nothing to be gained or manipulated there.

Do you think that America has a right to intervene militarily in any arbitrary country around it, and for no good reason?
Isn't that just a bit evil?
They would if said country signed off on it. For instance in Mexico the cartels are so powerful they rival even their own government.
The Mexican government could sign a deal with us and allow us to go in and route out all the cartels and any other intity deemed a threat by the Mexican government such as very violent dangerous gangs.
They would probably have to make some minor to moderate adjustments to how their government operates so as to make it less susceptible to corruption.
However corruption may be an inherent feature in their culture and societal structure and it may just return after a short period.
I think our money would be better spent just building an extremely effective wall along with all the fancy security features that would play along with the wall to make it nearly impossible to cross. Hell we could build it with just one tenth of our military budget.

No, I don't think they do, but I do think they will no matter our opinions, so wouldn't it be better to shift the focus to home?
Perhaps China should just invade the US, 'cause...
They don’t have the means to transport their troops safely across the ocean for an invasion of the United States (yet). Even if they did and they sent their entire army including their reserves they would fail. The citizens of the United States alone have 300 MILLION guns. We have the most experienced veteran fighters in the world because we are always in a war. Americans are the reigning champions of war standing on a 100Million corps pile with a kill death ratio that would give Satan an erection.

China is a far cry from being able to come anywhere close to being able to take on the United States....for now, and for the foreseeable future.
