Far from it. Mexico is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and if they really need someone to stop the corruption, they can get a guy like Batman.

Its pretty hard to stop corruption when being "not corrupt" generally involves being brutally murdered in your own home.

You want to pull the rug completely out from underneath terrorists and mexican drug cartels?  Legalize drugs, reduce our reliance on foreign oil.  Supply-side militarism I call it.

Hence my call for a hero like Batman.

The problem with legalizing drugs is that we can't legalize drugs. There are dangerous drug cartels all over the world, for drugs like Marijuana, Cocaine, Opium, etc. What are you going to do, legalize them all? And if we do legalize drugs, these industries will become even bigger, and there's no indiciation that the gangs and crime lords will relinquish their control. Besides, reducing our reliance on foreign oil? Is that supposed to be a joke or something? You and I both know that's not going to happen any time soon.

If you want to pull the rug from underneath terrorists and cartels, shove them off.
