#4 And Bush doesn't want to build a security fence between the US and points south.

Right!

#5 I just wonder if Bush thinks a Border
Fence will touch off a war with Mexico, something we do NOT need right now?

Or perhaps not with Mexico itself, but with the drug cartels?

Food for thought.

I don't think President Bush worries about a war with Mexico, OR the drug cartels. If a war WERE declared, or just began to happen, I'm sure there are enough red-blooded citizens of this nation, including quite a few Hispanics, who would willingly pick up arms and put a serious hurt on any Mexican excursion into the US, regardless of who was behind it. Without some serious border control, you have a situation like Iraq or Afghanistan, where outsiders have easy access to all kinds of weapons to use against non-combattants. The US commercial infrastructure (rails and roads, trains and trucks) are wide open for attacks. We've been lucky so far, but "luck" is a very tenuous shield to bet our economic, political, and social life upon.

#7 When you're getting hosed by terrorists, it doesn't work to crush the nozzle. You go back and turn off the tap. Nothing will change until Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are taken off line. They are the nest for all this vermin and fences, sanctions or liberations won't do squat. We have to start putting a major hurt on the real enemy. Washington's inability to even name our foe only prolongs the agony and causes more Americans to die.
