I know you hate gringos. Its obvious but the war in Mexico is so much more than just a war on the drug cartels. Its a war against the Mexican's attitude toward easy money and acceptance of corruption. That is a war that Mexico will loose.
Looks like "Fast & Furious" was only one aspect of the Gunwalker project. Operation Castaway was orchestrated by the Tampa office of the ATF and moved guns to Honduras. That way they could enter Mexico from the South and presumably be more deniable. Understand the case is now under investigation and indictments being prepared. That doesn't mean they'll be enthusiastically prosecuted, but hope springs eternal! Naming the responsible BATF agent by name (Virginia O'Brien) suggests that they have more than just allegations to go on.

pffff you are so wrong...
it is a war against SOME and only SOME drug cartels to protect another cartel.
have you read about garcia luna? how he fabricates detentions to show on TV?
Some people in Mexico blames Calderon for this 40,000 deaths, truth is the majority of this deaths are in hands of narco.
Yes, for mistake the army has been killed some innocent people, but this are a very low percentage. All the media put the attention when the army kill some innocents but don't say nothing about the missing and killed by narcos.
The poet son was kidnapped and killed by narcos, no by federal forces, the federal police get the responsible of this death in record time, so I really don't understand the movement of Sicilia, it looks like he's against the army and the police.
Yes, I think there were a few completely innocent bystanders but even many of the so-called innocent were there at parties of drug cartel members or family members of drug cartel members. Most of those killed were killed by their own cartel or the opposing cartel or because they are street thugs involved in gang battles.
I don't feel the least bit sad when some carjacker meets his Maker, or some kidnapper meets an untimely death. The street thugs are out there killing each other and that's not all bad. In the end it's all going to work out.
There are self-hating types found everywhere. I don't think you love the USA or Americans very much even if you are one. I don't have a problem with that, you aren't living in the USA and love your new country more. In my opinion that's good.

I like Mexico but I am 100% loyal to my country the U.S.A. I am not a Republican. As Al Fraken described the difference between Republicans and Democrats, Republicans look at the country like a 4 year old looks at his parents, all perfect, no faults. Democrats look at their country like grown-ups look at their parents, love them but they are only human and have faults.
I love my country but I know it has faults. Free Speech, free to criticize, is what made the U.S. a great country but like any human, it will never be perfect and must always be improving.

I don't get the feeling that you like the American people very much or have any sympathy for their unemployment situation and so on. But that's okay because you live with your new people. It's good you admire them more.
I've known others who prefer life in Mexico to that of the USA and prefer the people. I think immigration to get with the people you want to be a true part of is a good kind of immigration. At one time I considered staying and working in Mexico but I ran out of money and came home and decided to stay here.

I've never written that I am not empathetic to the plight of unemployed Americans.
First I moved to Mexico to get away from my wacky daughters. Sounds terrible but most people move to another country to get away from them. It's not a dislike of my fellow citizens. It's a fear of relatives.
The people I admire are the one's who have overcome adversity and are still kind hearted, fair people and they can be found anywhere.
I defend Mexico against unwarranted attacks made by people who know nothing about Mexico, but I won't step into defending my state of Texas because it probably deserves any criticism it gets, especially if Gov. Good Hair makes a run for the White House.

malamute, no one should take sides just because that is your country. Some types work through assumptions. Axixic used facts to prove her point. That doesn't make her a bad American or a self-hating person. It makes her a smart critical thinker.
BTW, I find it interesting that you considered staying in Mexico to work but decided to the U.S. when you went empty pocket or as my friend would say, "money funny". Then you turn around and slam those that do the same but hey that is for another forum...
