Mexico’s Indian Wars continued into the 1930s.
We are not wrong. The retaking of the Southwest is a dominant theme of Mexican Culture ... and its avowed "foreign policy."
Mexican megalomania knows no bounds. At one point, Mexico was one of the largest countries in the world. At the time of the Mexican War it was certainly larger than the US, had a far greater population, and their armies outnumbered ours by at least a factor of 5, were well-equipped, and led and trained by a European-trained officer corps. We definitely went into that one as the long shot! When we whipped them, the blow to Mexican pride was enormous. They never got over it.
IMHO, they should have stuck with Emperor Maximilian. It was a decent shot at turning into a real country.
The Republican Party is aka "The Stupid Party." This is not entirely without reason.
I stand corrected. I guess I was thinking of the mission system in S. Cali, and extrapolated that to the rest of CA. Sounds like that was a mistake.:)
Yes, it’s true, Mexico wants “her” land back, even though we won it fair and square.
PING!
I’m guessing here, but here goes: Jorge W. Boosh, Karl Rove, Juan McLame and La Raza Rick Perry.
See say puede!
Mexican drug cartels taking over Texas, they plan to have a cartel safe zone one-county deep and yet Perry still does not want a border fence.
