The Mexican drug cartel is just as bad if not worse than Al Quaida. The only difference is that the cartels pray to a different god, $$$$$$$$.
IMHOP we should adopt a zero tolerance attitude with boarder crossing just as the schools have with chicken finger pistols. Stop playing games and lock down the boarder period by force. A dog with no teeth is not to be feared. Time to show our teeth and use them if necessary on our neighbor to the south.
dont try and make these cartels seem invincible...we could nail them really hard, if we wanted to,informants are one way along with agent orange to expose their hide outs and cluster bombing the jungles would help as well,if 50,000 us troops swept across the region along with 50,000 mexican troops,with amored personnel carriers,tanks,planes and artillery i think this would eventually kick the "drug crazed, kid killing cartels' teeth down their throats

Um.. the drug dealers are not in Vegas style shops with neon signs, with arrows flashing to the entrance.. "Drug Cartel!" You can't just "take them out." Aside from the ridiculous notion that we even SHOULD get involved in yet ANOTHER countries issues, or the foolish idea that we should invade a country to "help them," you can't just remove the drug cartels with a surgical strike. Think guerrilla warfare. Think Vietnam. Think.. impossible to do.
Mexico is hardly the worst off.. there are countries under much greater stress, duress and danger. And we can't stick our nose in every other countries problems. I don't think anyone realizes how much we could accomplish if we pulled out of the other countries in the world. If we focused our money on our own countries problems.
theres still many many people getting rich off of alcohol,its just that they operate within the shadows of legality

It has already been explained to you. Legalizing would bring the price down and it would stop the violence. Just like it happened when prohibition was repealed.

I'm shaking my head at America's stupidity, we barely have enough money to feed our own people. Let alone do anything else.
How is the government protecting our citizens from drug gangs, when the same government our US government is providing them with the weapons and drugs. If you can rationalise that you will be a genius. I'm waiting for your miraculous revelation.edit on 16-8-2011 by Heartisblack because: (no reason given)
I like how he never answered this. Take a look into Operation Gunrunner. That right there should explain enough. The American Government Never has (or had) our best interests at heart. I can't believe people still don't realize this...
And OP...
Just... NO...edit on 18-8-2011 by blocula because: (no reason given)
I'm not asking for a link... I'm asking for you to answer the question in your own words... There's a difference. Anyone can link to an article and call it their opinion...

The problems in Mexico are actually the consequence of exactly what you're now proposing ! The drugs mafia in Mexico "Los Zetos" were originally an elite US trained combat unit of the Mexican military. A Mexican version of the US Navy Seals or the equivalent of the British SAS Commando Service. So sending the US Forces in to save Mexico might only end up making the situation even worse than it is already. The US Military is the worlds number one most dangerous drugs mafia. If you cannot understand that fact then you're not going to be able to even begin to resolve the problem. The USA was founded by the drugs mafia. The "East India Company" growing tobacco, dealing in alcohol, coc aine and opium, was big business and still is. The USA is the drugs mafia. It is commonly known fact that the USA "Black Ops" are all being paid for out of undeclared for taxation drugs money. The USA "Black Ops" is just one big drugs mafia money laundering operation. So sending in the US armed forces is very unlikely to change anything is it ? Anyway Mexico is a soverign state and might decide to resist you "gringo" invasion. The USA invading Mexico might have dire consequences in that the situation might turn around. What if it gets to be that other countries decide to invade the USA for exactly the very same reasons as to why you propose that the USA should invade Mexico ? Being violent to stop violence is equivalent to lighting a fire to stop a fire. Fire plus fire only adds up to a bigger fire. Violence plus violence only adds up to more violence.
The law that I live by and which is holding us all bonded is called PRAECEPTAE CAELENIUM (tm). I did not read it in a book. You will not find it in any book. It was revealed to me by audio clairvoyance during the celebrations of the New Millennium in 2000. Summed up it basically means no sex and no drugs and no violence. (1) From eternity to eternity, infinity to infinity, there be the One Absolute. The One True God there be no other God. Her names are many but she be the one true God. The one judge there be no other judge. (2) La Deus Nostra, Notre Dame, Our Lady, The Holy Spirit, the cause the maker Cosmica. (3) Angelic [celestial immortal] powers of truth and beauty and righteousness be sure to be loving Her Holiness Above with all your mind and with all your heart and with all your strength. (4) So as to be pleasing to Her Holiness Above therefore do not be serving the masculine. (5) Do not be and do not allow masculinity into positions of government. (6) Honour and respect the virgin pureness of the christae. (7) Honour and respect the Immaculate Conception [parthenogenesis] reproductive process of the christae. (8) Do not fornicate or adulterate or sodomize. (9) Do not bully or torture or murder. (10) Do not lie. (11) Do not steal. (12) Do not be covetous. (13) Do not be jealous. Copyright (c) NGL 2000.

The three things the US should do with respect to Mexico is place soldiers 100 yards apart with rifles across the entire border while a fence or barrier is built and then round up and deport all illegal aliens, no questions asked. Take them to the border watch them walk over and let Mexico deal with them. Finally, all aid to Mexico should be stopped.
There is absolutely no reason to take over a failed state and Mexico will always be a failed state. It has always been a failed state and always will be a failed state. Mexico is in the midst of a revolution and that must be resolved by the Mexicans within Mexico. The US has absolutely no business involved with the internal politics of Mexico. If it becomes totally a narco state, then it becomes a narco state and we deal with that reality. If people are honest about it, Mexico has been a narco state for 20 years. Its just not polite to talk about it. Far easier to talk about cartels. The cartels are the ruling faction of Mexico. The cartels are the government.
thanx for your comment and thanx for actually looking at the photo i linked ...it speaks volumes...>>> www.gwu.edu...

That picture does say alot. It shows that the US puts key players in a position to create reasons to invade.
As stated above the reason for much of the violence in Mexico is Los Zetas. Trained in the good old US of A. The drug trade has been going on for a long time but it wasn't until these key players were let on the scene that things got this bad. Now the US gov has it's citizens calling for the invasion of Mexico.
