Mexicans protest (in Mexico)

Finally!
An Hispanic protest I can understand and support.
Tired of a dysfunctional government and ineffective law enforcement, Mexicans are going to protest in Mexico to actually improve their country instead of insisting that we take care of their citizens that illegally live in our country.

Rick Perry willing to send military into Mexico

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (who insists he isn't running for prez) on MSNBC made it clear that he thought we should send the military into Mexico if it will help end the violence and the cartel's control.
His phrasing could use improvement as he stated it this way:  “I think we have to use every aspect of law enforcement that we have, including the military."
The military is not law enforcement even though they have been forced into quasi-law enforcement missions in other countries. 
He recovers from his error with a comparison to military assistance given to other central and South American countries suffering the effects of narco-terrorist groups (sentiments also voiced by Hillary Clinton).
He also brings up the biggest stumbling block.
The Mexican people need to be on board with us sending armed troops into their territory in order to stem the flow of Mexican blood.


This could be an interesting direction for American-Mexican relations to take.
If the media and governments of both side were on board, it could ease tensions and actually make it harder to cross the border illegally.

Vincente Fox is insane

Ex-Mexican President Vincente Fox claims the solution to the current drug violence in Mexico is to legalize the manufacture, distribution, and sale of drugs that are illegal in countries all over the world.
He claims that removing the prohibition will remove the profit motive and funding for the cartels by dropping the prices.
Possessing personal amounts of many narcotics has been legal in Mexico for years.

Is he really that stupid?
Does he not understand that the cartels will not allow competition and that they will keep prices high by controlling the flow of product and raw materials?
Even if the drug market becomes unpalatable to them, they will increase operations in other areas, like smuggling drugs into the US and money out, arms trafficking, and terrorist control of government.

Hezbollah cell uncovered...in Tijuana

While the Obama administration sues Arizona for trying to do the job the feds refuse to do, our neighbors in Mexico have rolled up a terrorist network being set up right across the border from California.
So we have Liberal druggies (yes, conservatives too) financing the narcos, who are chummy with Hugo Chavez, who is chummy with the terrorists, who are set on infiltrating us to wreak havoc so they can dance in the streets of the middle east while our economy sinks to greater depths.
I "hope" things "change" before they succeed.
