    I’m sure this will finally end the totally necessary and effective war on drugs. Thank god we spend billions on that rather than on any kind of social services!!

      Are you seriously suggesting we just leave the cartels alone? They’re some of the most evil people on the planet.

        Yes, leave them to the people who actually have to live with the consequences of their existence; they’re more likely to do actually effective things rather than drop a bomb and make everything worse. If you want to do something about some of the most evil people on the planet, go bomb Congress or Wall Street (the White House will do in a pinch).

          First, this was a shootout, not a bombing. Second, it was the Mexican military, who I’m pretty sure feel the effects of their actions, living in the country and all.

            Yes, I’m saying that Americans should let Mexicans (including the Mexican military) deal with their cartel problem and stay out of it.

    Which military.

    Edit: separate video came across my feed – joint venture between US/MX forces. Retaliation has begun at several airports and other areas.
