The Mexican and Columbia governments are clearly corrupt and both have its hands in the drug cartels. Why? There is no freaking way on earth you can export between $50 billion dollars a year worth of drugs unless the government knows. The Presidents of both countries may not have a clue but someone in both governments and most definitely in both law enforcement agency's is helping. Its time America took a bold stand to stop the export of deadly drugs into our country. We have tried everything and it has failed. Mexicans are constantly invading our borders, thousands a day come here, costing billions of dollars per year on just that with out the drugs. Illegal immigration and the drug war is costing at least $80 billion per year. The drug war cost 30 billion dollars per year alone and its only going to go up, unless we legalize cocaine in and heroin. Marijuana should be legalized in every state, a joint doesn't do anything to you, but cocaine and heroin will kill you for sure. Both cocaine and heroin kill about 20 thousand people per year. Both countries cartels are brutally murdering thousands of people each year. Why are we messing with these countries all these years, the United States has to take a firm stand in the war on drugs. We must send a message to both countries that if they do not act as good neighbors and stop this illegal drug export we will do something drastic to force the issue. The way to win this war is to go to the source of what you are trying to stop being exported and destroy it, and the only way to do that is to be able to move about the country unannounced and freely. This strategy is the only strategy because every other strategy is not working.

+3This is why I don't like the USA as a whole that much, and why many people don't. They always invade and bother other countries! Just mind your own business!
War on drugs should just be ended and regulated. Such a war encourages drug use, not discourages it. Shame this country never learned anything from prohibition.
This is a hypothetical situation type question by the way although I do feel that some American generation in the future may get disgusted with fighting the war on drugs so ineffectively that this may become an possible option. I truly believe however that it was a huge mistake to back the over throw of the Spanish ruling governments in many of these nations because simply, they have proved they can not manage their affairs properly. Spain has showed that it has a government that has to be respected simply because they do not have the drug and poverty problems that many of these once occupied nations and Islands have presently. We should have helped the Spanish keep these territories.
If I were President, I would pull troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq, and put our armed forces along the Mexican border. We need a stronger defense against drug cartels to the south. And I think military families will
Be stronger too, having their husbands, wives, sons and daughters fighting for their country state-side.
I Like the way you think Son!
The 2008 South Ossetia War or Russo-Georgian War (in Russia also known as the Five-Day War) was an armed conflict in August 2008 between Georgia on one side, and Russia and separatist governments of South Ossetia and Abkhazia on the other.
The 1991–1992 South Ossetia War between ethnic Georgians and Ossetians had left slightly more than a half of South Ossetia under de-facto control of a Russian-backed internationally unrecognised government.[49][50] Most ethnic Georgian parts of South Ossetia remained under the control of Georgia (Akhalgori district, and most villages surrounding Tskhinvali), with Georgian, North Ossetian and Russian Joint peacekeeping force present in the territories. A similar situation existed in Abkhazia after the War in Abkhazia (1992–1993). Increasing tensions escalated during the summer months of 2008. On 5 August, Russia officially decided to defend South Ossetia.[51]
The world is here because the United States is here. If the United States did not give Russia planes, tanks and ammunition, you would be a foot taller and speaking German or in a concentration camp.
The Soviet war in Afghanistan was a nine-year proxy war during the Cold war involving the Soviet Union, supporting the Marxist-Leninist government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan[15] against the Afghan Mujahideen guerrilla movement and foreign "Arab–Afghan" volunteers. The mujahideen received unofficial military and/or financial support from a variety of countries including the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, Israel, Indonesia and China. The Afghan government, with the Soviet Union as its ally, received different aid from the government of India under Indira Gandhi.
The initial Soviet deployment of the 40th Army in Afghanistan began on December 24, 1979 under Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev.[16] The final troop withdrawal started on May 15, 1988, and ended on February 15, 1989 under the last Soviet leader Mikha...

Due to the interminable nature of the war, the conflict in Afghanistan has sometimes been referred to as the "Soviet Union's Vietnam War" or "the Bear Trap".[17][18][19]
