Sounds rough, worst of all it's been going on for years but this is my opinion. The U.S. should stay out of it, we are not a global police force and we sure as hell don't impose our will on other country's, we have before and then we get shit like whats going on in Syria. When the U.S. sent troops to the middle east to fight terrorists we also trained their military to handle those threats as well and the years down the road we get ISIS or whatever they call themselves and as they take different parts of the middle east, THEN guess what? You get some Americans blaming our government for that because "we didn't train them well enough" well I would be the one to quickly say fuck you we tried and they failed but it wasn't our responsibility in the first place to train them, it just happened so that we could work together easier to fight terrorism. So guess what will happen if we impose our will in Mexico? I don't know but I don't want to find out, I want this crime to end in Mexico too, but it will do harm to our own country if we do.
Some things to note about this, if the U.S. had any reason to intervene then it would be for these reason only. The first is that it's very close to home so it is a very possible that these crimes will reach us too, though it's been going on for a very long time and still has not done any note worth damage to the U.S. it seem like it will never happen, but better to kill it while it's down rather then wait for it to get up ya know!? If Mexico asks us for help then we can say that the Mexican government has decided to the the U.S. intervene and if the American people so agree with this then we have a mutual agreement with both party's and thus will share equal responsibility of whatever happens there after. If the American people have decided as a majority to help Mexico then I would expect our government to do so under their request, even if I don't like it if the American people want it to be so then I will stand behind it because I have faith in democracy. And the last thing would be to do it in-order to gain something out of Mexico, since Mexico has nothing of value to the U.S. you would think what would that be? That would be peace, we are already in good relations with Mexico, meaning we stay our of their business and they stay out of ours and I think that's fair, but if we want to secure total respect and peace from Mexico then that is the way to do it, by helping them end this; we just run the risk of fucking up and then we got an enemy on our hand.
Im an American first so I and im sure many more think of the interest of the U.S. first, but Mexico I think should be looked and closely since they are our neighbors and having good neighbors keeps enemy's away from the gate but I also don't want my country to be looked at poorly again for intervening in another affair of another country. So until we have a guarantee to secure our own credibility I don't think we should move in screaming "murica" just yet, it actual sounds pretty awesome to me because I love saying the word America or USA but I know better than that.
Oh yea BTW fuck you
>>3 your the reason the U.S. gets so much shit, blabbing about imposing our will on others what the hell is wrong with you!? This is America mother-fucker, our values are liberty, freedom, and equal opportunity! Go fuck yourself.
