I've wondered just how much this war has cost, already. His plan succeeded that day! He has changed our world! He is still out there (or his replacement)...
I went to Mexico in January, the second time in two years. The Mexican troops are everywhere, armed and beligerent! They are trying to quell an internal uprising.
In this country, we are having our rights eroded, and our freedoms limited. We are living with a gum't that takes from us, and gives to others, that we don't know, or see, both domestic, and foreign. These 'others' even include our enemies!
I hope it doesn't come to an armed rebellion, here! But, the country that most of us fought for, is ceasing to exist! WE are being penalized, by living during this time... and it seems there is nothing we can do about it...
Pray for our world. "Come quickly, Lord Jesus!"
There are many "armed groups" in Mexico. Police of various jurisdictions, the Federal Police, the Army, private security forces. None get along. And mostly they are there for the regular food and a little money. Not fighters.
Interesting that you say they appeared belligerent -- are you up near the US border were the narcotics trade may have emboldened them, or easy prey made them vicious?

WTF are you talking about? What can you not do now that you could do on Sept 10, 2001?
