More people died in Mexico last year from the drug wars than American troops throughout the entire Afghan/Iraqi wars. Did we lift a finger and start bombing drug compounds?

while the US may not be bombing these compounds the US does provide military assistance to mexico...for example, the US flies drones over parts of mexico. 

and the US still provides military assistance to the people of columbia agaisnt FARC.

Yes, I know we provide some assistance, but we provide a lot of menial assistance to various countries for various reasons. What I am talking about is military intervention in foreign countries. We shouldn't intervene in such things in a physical (flying over, bombing, ect) way.

There are four reasons or validifications for invading a sovereign nation:

1. Genocide - This is the only reason that by itself gives warrent to an invasion to prevent or stop or punish a understood genocide. (There's more to this as well)

2. Violation of Human Rights - This does not qualify on it's own merit

3. WMD's - Chemical, Biological or Nuclear; unlawful possession or manufacturing of these on it's own does not qualify on it's own merit

4. Unlawful Invasion - This does not qualify on it's own merit for invasion.

 

Only genocide gives legal right to invade another country, the others usually lead to upon requested aide or embargo or diplomacy or some other action to help find a resolution.
