We could solve the Israli/Palistinian/Mexico problem in one swoop. Take a stretch of the entire border and give it to Israel and I bet they’ll keep the Mexicans on their side of the border...
THE WAR NEXT DOOR

[snips]How do you begin to understand that so many people are dying in Mexico? More than 5,000 casualties because of narcotrafficking. Thats more than all of the American troops that have died fighting an actual war in Iraq.
One grisly new tactic is beheadings. A headless corpse hung above a busy highway almost two hours before police covered it with a sheet - the head found in a nearby park.
In Tijuana, nine men were decapitated last month, three of them policemen, their badges stuck in their mouths - some of the 40 murders in Tijuana occurred in just one weekend.

Last year alone,(2007) at least 26 San Diego County residents were kidnapped and held for ransom just miles from the U.S. border in the Mexican towns of Tijuana, Rosarito Beach and Ensenada. The FBI says many victims get beaten, tortured or raped and some are murdered.
In the past five days of 2009, the number of deaths in Mexico linked to organized crime, particularly drug trafficking, has risen to 63. At least 12 crimes per day have occurred and in the past few hours, 24 assassinations have been reported throughout the country.
