We do it all the time and for a very long time we have been doing exactly that,all over the world, thousands of miles away and so why should'nt we directly involve our military when its concerning a country thats bodering our own? Vicious armed gangs of drug dealers and ex mexican soldiers are kidnapping and beheaded hundreds of people every month and their dismembered corpses are being hung from expressway over passes and their broken bodies and severed heads are thrown all over the streets.Crowds of people are being machined gunned to death in homes,stores and clubs.Children are being executed,shot in the head while on their way to school and women are being raped,tortured and killed,then thrown away like trash and without a doubt those vicious evil things will spill over and spread into america and so what should we do about stopping that from happening to our citizens? nothing?

Who are we to tell a sovereign nation what to do? .
Even if drugs were legalized in mexico,that would not stop the cartels from continuing to control it,enforce it and kill innocent people over it...

No need to invade, just legalize all the drugs they are killing each other to import. Legalize it, regulate it, sell it, tax it. This will stop the violence south of our boarder. Matter of fact this will even work its way all the way to the top of these cartels. Believe me cartels don't want it legal.....it would cut into the profits.....
But theres one gigantic difference,we have a massively superior airforce and they do not and we could wipe out the drug gang cartels using our air power,without ever setting an american boot on mexican soil,if we really wanted to.We could spray and spread agent orange where the cartels are and defoliate and expose their jungle hideouts,their training camps and their drug groves and then cluster bomb and precision airstrike them out of existence and we should do it as vengeance served in the memories of all those tens of thousands of innocent people those cartels have murdered and to prevent them from bringing their rampage of death to america and start killing americans.The drug gang cartels have sown the wind and they should be made to reap a terrible whirlwind...

Before punishment, people involved in these drug gangs, so called, must be found "guilty" of something in an open fair process..
The us military had no problem sending millions of american troops to france and germany,to japan, north korea and vietnam,to iraq and afghanistan,all many thousands of miles away and so why not into mexico?

Why is it the U.S.'s job to save them? Do people realize what kind of logistic and financial NIGHTMARE that would be?
