Our every effort to strengthen our "allies" in the Middle-East is perceived as a handout, and is even being abused in order to strengthen Al Queda.
I propose action against the Mexican cartels who're terrorizing Mexican citizens, making their lives so terrible that they're fleeing to our country for illegal refuge. Such action would also dam the flow of drugs coming North across the border, which would have a lasting positive affect on every community in our nation.
According to the U.S. Joint Forces Command, Mexico is 1 of 2 countries that "bear consideration for a rapid and sudden collapse." I didn't read anything about Iraq or Afghanistan in that article, did you? So why then, after the death of Bin Laden, are we still giving them the shirts off of our backs without thanks?
