Get into a nasty situation (Project Gunrunner), blame the people you sold them to, then take an army in and wipe them out....Who cares if there is civilian death and collateral damage?
Like the cop that abuses his taser or his gun, we are just doing our jobs...
you think that "the usa is not the worlds police"... "yes we are" and we always have been ever since we became a country, read through this! >>> en.wikipedia.org...

I am a champion for the US Military. But, we are not the world's police.
Let it burn. We have our own issues here to deal with.
Build the dam fence, arm it and let Mexico deal with Mexico.

just wait till a few dozen innocent civilians get shot and cut up then we might do something, just like we wait till a bunch of people get killed on a dangerous street before we put up a stop sign that should have already been there...if any mexican drug gang member came over into the usa and killed a rich person or a senators wife we would invade in a week or two, but as long as they kill poor nobody janes and joes .. we wont do a damn thing...

If the drug cartel is threatening US integrity and well being, if war between drug dealers is being spread in the states than I find it more the reasonable for the US army to take action. Otherwise US has no business in getting to another independent country. Is this kind of attitude that got America in financial trouble. Who is US to intervene in every corner of the world and act like a world police? I'm amazed with the attitude of some of the posters in here. Is about time that USA minds her own business and tries to heal her own wounds. Don't get me wrong, I like US and I've got nothing against this country. I just don't agree with this kind of bully behavior. Despite the trillions of debts, heavy economic issues, a population with an increasing amount of problems, financial and social, with a government in a total panic, still there are dudes in here who think that US should step in a military action against another country. Seriously???

You've never heard that ? There was a thread here a few weeks back that stated the CIA/FBI somebody with letters was supplying the guns to cartels. I know it is here somewhere
it was the ATF,( alcohol,tobaco, firearm), "supervising" the flow of weapons to Mexico.

i saw this as well but keep in mind that this data only goes up to 2004,thats 7 years ago and since then the murder rate in mexico has gone up and up "a lot" higher
Originally posted by daskakik
There are over 40 countries with higher per capita murder rates around the world.
List of countries by intentional homicide rate
While Mexico has about three times the murder rate per capita compared to the US, the US has around three times the murder rate of Canada so by your logic Canada should invade the US and teach the US a lesson?
Also Mexico is the second largest supplier of oil to the US after Canada. Maybe that is why they don't go around invading each other. Their actually a pretty tight bunch.edit on 17-8-2011 by daskakik because: (no reason given)
Look man I hate to break it to you, but to be blunt we can't worry about other countries right now. Our country is on the brink of total chaos and failure, and as great as the United States being the Superman country of the world and solving lots of other countries problems sounds, it's just not practical, especially with the current state we are in right now.

We dont want mexico's debt, we can't even afford our own government let alone an entire country. We might be 14 trillion in debt, mexico is like 14 quadrillion and the only thing they export that any country could possibly want is hotsauce. I dont trust their sodapops, its made with their water, and you know all about "don't drink the water" in mexico, and i highly doubt pinatas will ever be a world commodity. What is it they make to trade with the world again? Oh yeah, poverty!

Dude, read my post. I would say read it again but you obviously did not read it the first time. Refute my logical points - I even forgot to mention that we are arming them as was posted above. Don't give me that crap. I actually do know people in Mexico - San Luis Rio Colorado to be exact - and they have been directly affected by death. They don't want the bloody U.S. military there, at all, they just want the damned war on drugs to end. Any sane and logical thinking person(few and far between nowadays) would also want a end to years of failed drug policy in stead of, say, invading a country that deserves it not at all.
Now, try again, this time with logic and not a ridiculous emotional argument that holds no weight at all.
