#2 You don't want war with Mexico - you might WIN, and then it would be YOUR mess to take care of (and we can't/won't even take care of our own mess!)

#4 Glenmore, I disagree. I think we need to put some serious hurt on a few thousand criminals in Mexico, especially in border cities. Closing the US/Mexico border, except at established, MANNED border crossings would also help. Now if Calderon complains TOO much, we can always take out Mexico City with a half-dozen ARCLIGHT strikes or a large nuke...

Something, something positive, has to be done about the violence and mayhem going on in Mexico. If putting a stop to the illegal border crossings will do any good at all (and I think they will), we should do it, and do it yesterday.

#6 Since City Hall was hit several times I call that well aimed, not stray.

#7 War with Mexico would be worth it if we annexed it and governed it with common law. The problem in Mexico is not the average Mexican, as the many immigrants to the US demonstrate, but its elite and the legal system they use to remain in power.

#8 War with Mexico would be worth it if we annexed it and governed it with common law. No, no, a thousand times no! I've had it up to HERE with nation-building. Let the Mexicans govern their own country rather than trying to annex ours.

#9 Declare a stretch 1 mile south of the border as an exclusion zone and start from there. Offer letters of marque and reprisal against coyotes and other smugglers.

#10 Texans and Mexicans have exchanged bullets for 174 years. Mexican drug boys should do what they think best; Texans will do what they think best.

#11 If it gets any hotter along the border I expect to see the 251st Mexican Roofer Battalion (MRB)and the 301st Latin Landscape Group (LLG) mobilized here in Fairfax County. Texas has better settle down and accept the inevitable.

#12 The last two times Texas tangled with Mexico, it cost Mexico huge chunks of land. This time, just push back any towns and make a 10 mile wide cordon sanitaire in Mexico.

Even if he doesn't complain, we should incinerate Mexico City, it might get their attention.
