Whenever someone starts in to the "It's all about oil" I always politely point out that Mexico has almost as much oil, would be easier to take over, easier to run and a whole lot closer.

Plus they have nice beaches and a few other goodies. So why didn't we invade Mexico?

"So why didn't we invade Mexico?"

I think you're onto something. They're invading us daily, so why not give the north-bound illegals a surprise -- like ten divisions of Marines passing them, going the other way.

Heck, Mexicans would die for the chance to become Americans, even if it meant being invaded

Have you ever noticed that those kind of people will not even consider the possibility that "It's all about the oil" for France and/or Russia, the two countries most involved in taking advantage of the Iraq situation over the past 12 years, and the two with the most to lose should Iraq become an independent, free nation?
