I believe the current phobia and state of fear in the U.S. has been foisted upon them by their own government (currently run by corporate interest). If the public can be convinced that they should not only be in fear of the Narco drug lords and that it is a threat to them, they can then be convinced that the the people and government of Mexico is unable to control the situation. The outcome would then be a "pre-emptive " strike (sound familiar) Not too different from the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (which were never found) that convinced Americans to move on Iraq and Afghanistan. Mexico has tremendous natural resources including the people that the Banking Cartels and Corporations would love to exploit. Keep in mind that there are no weapons in the hands of the common people to defend themselves. The only ones other than the military that have weapons are the drug cartels and where did they get them? You got it-- the CIA. It is all very disturbing and dirty. Wake up America!!!!!
