It is preventative for the safety of US citizens, especially along the Mexico/US border.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-54206294773787387862009-02-12T07:59:00.000-06:002009-02-12T07:59:00.000-06:00hi. i am a former and future visitor to your stun...hi. i am a former and future visitor to your stunning island. i live in north carolina, and have been reading about the kidnappings and murders of women taking place all over mexico. namely juarez (google the lost women of juarez-over 300 murdered women in 5 years.) a girl from savannah, ga was recently kidnapped and murdered while visiting puerto vallarta. i would like to know what your solution to this problem would be. if it is not assistance from the u.s., what else? and how would you like to see it happen? because SOMEthing needs to be done, wouldn't you agree?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-25226622330731148712009-01-15T20:46:00.000-06:002009-01-15T20:46:00.000-06:00Congrats on 29 years of togetherness!

But that reference to homeland security worries me. IMHO, many atrocities and liberties have been taken under this banner.<BR/><BR/>doug: thanks and no, I don't have any jokes. I'm not even sure what they do! I agree about our country's big nose though.<BR/><BR/>sue: thanks! we all need to keep watching the news I guess. Kind of hard now that they have replaced CNN with Rachel Ray and Oprah.<BR/><BR/>mimi: thanks!<BR/><BR/>jamqueen: thank you!<BR/><BR/>michael: thanks for the links. they were very helpful.<BR/><BR/>canuck: thanks. I agree with you and it would probably only involve the border areas. The US would not be looking to overthrow the government or anything like that. But it reminds me of Viet Nam. Would we really be able to ever route out the cartels? And I think I would head for Belize.<BR/><BR/>brenda: thank you! The news is probably even scarier for you, that close to the border.Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-92185214613506303362009-01-15T11:39:00.000-06:002009-01-15T11:39:00.000-06:00Happy Anniversary.That news report is scary.Happy Anniversary.<BR/>That news report is scary.Brenda Maashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451724306271286173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-86780501371063350212009-01-15T11:31:00.000-06:002009-01-15T11:31:00.000-06:00Ok, all the news aside, Happy Anniversary!!!! 29 ...Ok, all the news aside, Happy Anniversary!!!! 29 years, holy crap, good job!<BR/><BR/>I don't think there is much chance of a US invasion, if it does happen I hope it's by the invitation of Calderon, a request for assistance in fighting the cartels, not a take over of the whole country. <BR/><BR/>If it does happen, I'm on the first raft to Cuba. ;-)CancunCanuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694054388941351498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-21337637700549020362009-01-15T10:52:00.000-06:002009-01-15T10:52:00.000-06:00http://www.elpasotimes.com/news/ci_11447730http://...http://www.elpasotimes.com/news/ci_11447730<BR/><BR/>http://www.iht.com/articles/2009/01/09/news/letter.php<BR/><BR/>Here is two articles<BR/><BR/>MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-64284309454337202322009-01-15T10:51:00.000-06:002009-01-15T10:51:00.000-06:00Thanks for all the info & congratulations on y...Thanks for all the info & congratulations on your anniversary!
