I watched the biography of Pancho Villa the other night on History International channel. The present situation in Mexico is deja vu all over again. More than 1.5 million were killed in the Mexican revolution between 1910 and 1920.
Villa was a cruel and sadisitic S.O.B. He also operated on both sides of the border. The Mexican government was not in control of Northern Mexico 100 years ago, same as now.
Sean Brodrick was very tired when he wrote this.
Colombia was like this back in the early 80’s to early 90’s, but they they turned things around. Still some stuff going there, but small potatoes compared to what is was then. There can be hope....

Well, the gangs took over the united States government and are now running it to suit themselves, from the white house on down.
The Mexicans are just not as sophisticated is the only difference.
Best thing could happen to Mexico would be for us to invade them and restore law & order. (and their economy)
That would horrible for us, a near impossible mission and, if the cartels completely collapse the Mexican gov., something we would almost have to do.
The drug gangs are better funded than the Mexican government, and can buy and sell the Mexican government all day long. That means the drug war is lost before it is started.
The source of their funding is the US.
The best way to cut off that funding, besides a moral awakening here in the States, which is overdue, is to secure the border. Which we keep calling for. Nothing else will work. Anything else that might work won’t work if we don’t also secure the border. Other things are also necessary, but securing the border is fundamental.
Whining about the cost isn’t a solution. A failed state on our southern border is going to cost a whole lot more than a little barbed wire.
It is only impossible in the ridiculous “politically correct,mushy,non-judgmetal world”;we need a modern Black Jack Pershing and George Patton.
A few years ago there was a report that the drug cartels control ovr 80% of Cancun’s tourist trade. As of now it most be much greater, to the point that the only hotels not either owned or controlled by the cartels or military are non-franchisee corporate owned hotel chains. And those chains are probably being extorted regularly.
The future might see a US military backed ‘Bay of Pigs’ like strategy to reclaim civil government under auspices of human rights under the UN (or NATO or the existing N.A. security cooperation agreement) oversight.
No we wouldn’t. Just seal the darn border. It can be done if we have the will. Tanks and troops could do it until we put up a REAL barrier. Let Israel build it for us. They know how.
I agree with your premise, and and that the Fall of Man the USA might also have to legalise a host of illicit drugs to cut off the demand side of the equation.
Securing the physical movement along the border is a very expensive undertaking if the risk reward ratio is not drastically altered to reduce the rewards scenarios.
And if the USA doesn’t formalize some sort of guest worker program now, before the cartels forcibly block the pocketed Mexican Federal government from signing on, in an effort to protect the cartels human smuggling profit pipeline, it will never happen.
The USA does need the workforce in about ten years as the youngest boomer retire en masse, however the shortsighted politicians in this country care not about a decade from now, because they’ll have gotten theirs by then and retired to leave the aftermath to the next bloodsuckers to file election petitions.
No, it would be nearly impossible because 1)the population would never support us, 2)Mexico is a huge country and 3)they would receive outside support from the likes of Hugo Chavez. As for "Blackjack" Pershing; his own words ought to put that myth to rest.
To: Texas FossilWe had best find another officer like "Black Jack" Pershing.So we can wander around Mexico for a year and fail our objective? Here's what Pershing himself said about it: ""when the true history is written, it will not be a very inspiring chapter for school children, or even grownups to contemplate. Having dashed into Mexico with the intention of eating the Mexicans raw, we turned back at the first repulse and are now sneaking home under cover, like a whipped curr with its tail between its legs."
If Mexico fall entirely under the control of narco-terrorists that wouldn't be enough.
Basically,we need someone in charge who recognizes that the truly evil can best be dealt with by killing them if at all possible.
“however the shortsighted politicians in this country care not about a decade from now, because they’ll have gotten theirs by then and retired to leave the aftermath to the next bloodsuckers to file election petitions.”
Is that not the exact risk of term limits? We the people need to remain vigilant no matter what happens!
It couldn’t be done in a country like Mexico unless you want to attack it the way Patton attacked Germany. Even then it would be a problem for decades. No guerrilla army has ever been defeated on its own soil and that is what we would be facing.
Some Mexican local and unadvertised information:
The drug cartels are not ‘Mexican’, they are Columbian.T
They are the offshoots of the Medellin Drug Cartels that Columbia has succeeded in driving out.
They operate on the ‘Al Capone’ model; buy off judges and politicians, control and extort from local businesses, turn Mexican ‘indians’ who are hoping to get a job in the US and be able to eat, they take from these indigent persons and train them to be killers, soldiers in their drug mafia.
Why aren’t these cartels identified as Columbian?
The FBI is very well equipped to lend tactical, strategic, logistic and intelligence support to Mexico to wipe out these bastards. Why doesn’t Mexico ask for US FBI support?
To save face! What stupidity! They don’t want to be seen as having to rely on white America to get control of their northern regions. The southern regions around Mexico City are fine, well under control, strong law enforcement.
I recently suggested to a friend in Mexico City that they should ask the Columbians for help to ‘save face’. Problem is Columbia teamed with US FBI and intelligence services to rid themselves of their bastards. But the drug scum found northern Mexico to be easy for them to operate.
Damn how I wish we could send some of our finest delta forces into northern Mexico and capture, nail and hang the carcasses of these bastards in broad daylight.
