By now mexico’s middle class must have lost all respect for their own government. It can’t protect them, it can’t do anythng.
You wonder how long the Mex. gov’t is going to last. They are collecting their poaychecks and their bribe money. But without at least some respect from citizens, things are going to blow.
I have long thought that the only solution here is mercenaries. a mercenary army, some military organization from outside Mexico. No one in Mexico, no police or military, are trustworthy.
Mercenaries to come in and take on the drug lords is the only answer. the drug gangs are cowards and I doubt if they could fight very well.
Well we know they're well armed with the 50 calibur sniper rifles, the AK47's and the AR15's and now we learn, the gernades that our government gave them. For all we know, they may have given them shoulder fired missles too.
my wife being from Mexico, and having the stupid pacifist streak that they do, I tell her when the people rise up and arm themselves, it will make a difference - bloody but long.
What I really hope, like you, is for some of our best ex-SpecialOps and other men of war would go down and really clean up. Make ‘Clear and Present Danger’ look mild.
James Fannin, a failed Ring Knocker, (from Hudson High), from Georgia, the guy who failed to relieve the Alamo, was a filibuster. He originally figured to invade Mexico and march on Vera Cruz. It's the reason he didn't want to be distracted with going to San Antonio. He was worried that Travis and Bowie would rank him out of his scheme.
Perhaps it's time to resurrect the idea. Let's hope we do better, this time.
