Should NATO deploy troops in Mexico?

1. Americans are the main users of Mexican drug. So don't only blame the Mexicans.

2. Even if you do want to be egocentric and only blame the Mexicans, then why would you talk about NATO and not the US army? So the Germans and Dutch and Italians should deploy to Mexico to battle against drugs that American citizens are buying? Haha maybe your on some Mexican drugs yourself TS ;)

I never blamed the Mexicans. I said since the violence is getting so bad and the Mexican government is unable to stop the cycle of violence maybe Nato should offer a halping hand. I agree their are many things America can do to help but in the end the war itself is happening in Mexico.

Being Canadian I myself am not really affected by it, as many NATO members aren't. But I think since Nato is a military alliance formed to defend its member nations interests that Mexico deserves our help. Now I'm not saying occupy Mexico. I'm not saying blame Mexico for the drug problem.

I'm saying offer Mexico assistance, look at what the US and NATO are doing right now in the middle east , Europe and Korea. They deploy troops to keep the peace they train the nations army and provide it with military support. Then when the country has succesfully stabalized they begin to move out.

Of course in the end NATO would not enter Mexico without an invitation by the Mexican Government or an act of war by Mexico which I doubt would ever occur. Notice I don't say America should move in I think that NATO or maybe even the United Nations should deploy Interpol and peace keepers. Either way I think the world shouldn't just ignore all the blood shed.

I want to thank you for your very civil and educated approach to this discussion and I want to insist on my apologize if I was rude.

No problem, I was alittle discouraged by your post saying you misjudged my intellect. But apology accepted and I hope I didn't offend you either. I like to have intellectual talks with other intelligent individuals especially when politics are involved so the pleasure of this convo was all mine.
