The Other War

As our brave men and women fight and die to create an outpost of freedom and liberty in bugnutsville there is another war going on right under our noses. This is a silent war, we only see the edges of it, though it's building every single day...

Mexican soldiers defy border
Homeland Security report: 216 incursions into U.S. made by Mexican military
By Sara A. Carter, Staff Writer

The Mexican military has crossed into the United States 216 times in the past nine years, according to a Department of Homeland Security document and a map of incursions obtained by the Daily Bulletin. U.S. officials claim the incursions are made to help foreign drug and human smugglers cross safely into the United States. The 2001 map, which shows 34 of the incursions, bears the seal of the president's Office of National Drug Control Policy.

I feel a bit like a broken record here, but, let's have another go.

Our government is painfully aware that Mexico is an enemy to the United States. An enemy in every way that counts. Narco-terrorists wield the kind of power that only billions of dollars in an impoverished economy can bring to bear.

We insist on playing pattycake with a country that imports two things of value into this country, illegal immigrants and drugs.

our president insists that family values don't stop at the Southern border and he's right as far as that goes. However, criminal values don't stop at the southern border either and it's past time we stopped pretending they did.

My point is simple. We don't actually require one other nation to have a good economy, I realize this is heresy these days, but I think it's true. We are the eight hundred pound gorilla, the money flows from here. If other people want to play, perhaps we should add a tariff. Not a monetary tariff, but behavioral ones.

Like what?

How about, America doesn't do business with countries controlled by narco-terrorists. Or, America will not do business with those coutries that still practice slavery.

Seems sensible to me, but then again I didn't go to Hahvahd, so I might be all wet.

What say you?
