They should smoke more of their product.

Then they might forget what they were supposed to be fighting about.

Let me answer a question with a question:

Has it gotten better in the last 10 years?

It has definitely gone from bad to worse.

Guns , goons, gold and drugs abound. Pres Calderon is meeting Obama tomorrow. Maybe they have something in mind to solve this problem.

They are meeting to figure out how disarm Texans...

Nevermind the entire Mexican govt is corrupt.

TxGun · 03-02-2011, 22:22

The Mexican government and military is corrupt from top to bottom. Yes, including Calderon. The cartels are in control of much of the country. It's going to go one-way only, and not for the better.

This.

As long as there is a demand, there will be a supplier.

Brianharless13 · 03-02-2011, 22:56

Mexico will fix itself December 21, 2012.

If Colombia can do it, any nation can.

They had insurgents on the left and paramilitaries on the right and drug cartels dead center. And who was the largest consumer of Colombian coca?

PePe's, Vigilantes, its what did it, shoot shovel and shut up, repeat, and do it many times, after a while, bad guys start thinking a new career move.

Hugo R · 03-02-2011, 23:18

It wasn't until recently that the mexican cop started fighting back, what with the billions of dollars we've given them to fight this war on drugs

Will things get better in Mexico? Hell no. Worse part about it is, it already is and will much more so...spill over into the United States and make our already problamatic sociopolitical landscape that much murkier and dangerous.

Now is the time for all good men to arm themselves and their families and prepare for the worse. If nothing happens, well, you end up with a nice gun and ammo collection. But if the balloon goes up...

Yes, but as I recall didn't this ultimately turn into a wolf/sheepdog paradox?

Regarding the Mexico situation;
I agree with an earlier poster, as long as there is a demand there will always be a supply.

Have you read up on Columbia recently? The cartels never went anywhere. Where do you think Mexico gets the cocaine that we as a nation put up our noses?

I never said Colombia was rid of it's cartels. And FARC is still present. But the exploding violence that plagued the country in the 80s & 90s, like what is happening in Mexico today, is nowhere near as prevalent.

I'd say its worse now than it was when Escobar was still around...the difference is simply a matter of "logistics"...they have moved closer to the border and are, I believe, in the process of crossing it!

Ol' Pablo blew up a few people, but he done all of it down there...these new guys are even doing it on our side of the river.

How is that not worse?
