    @Romulus211, if the Mexican people themselves asked for a US intervention, would you then be in favor of it?

    @The Shaw, that's already been posted by Kali, remember? :p

    Not really. I read the whole thing, and the context didn't make it sound any better.

    No.

    No. Because it will still make life harder there regardless of popular support @General Mosh

    Then what did you get out of my posts?

    I feel that you are a confused young man, needing an identity, and having found one in your Mexican heritage, which you over-emphasize to provide for yourself a sense of personal identity. So you are attempting to revolve yourself around it.

    It's something a lot of people do, don't worry.

    I agree that i am proud of my heritage, but I really do want to help people, ethnicity is just a old symbol, I don't care about my race anymore then another where all the same, maybe I did go overboard on the Mexican identity but on the internet everbody wants to be special my argument still stands i may be a simple person but I am a stubborn one.

    If it has popular support, and the majority of people want it, then why not do it?

    Who am I to say not too? I dont agree with it, if you look at various other places with military intervention, there economy falls and the recovery period spans years.

    You know what I meant. If you have the monetary and supply capacity to do it, and the people want it, then why not?
    Mexico's economy is already in tatters, and the place is extremely impoverished. Of course your not going to see recovery right away, but often recovery does come, especially if the country doing the "imperializing" sticks with it till the end.

    Actually no. Mexico's economy is growing steady and is actually expected to surpass Russia in industry by 2050. And is expected to join the list of developed economies and no longer be a 2nd world country

    Fair enough, but overall the people themselves are impoverished.
