Joco Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 You say Academi but I hear Los Zetas. What could possibly go wrong with a paramilitary group whose only allegiance is to money? George Academi is nothing like the Zetas. I don't like mercenaries but no foreign country uniformed soldiers can enter Mexico. A private military can. Apparently Mexico cannot trust its own law enforcement and they certainly are not equipped and trained like Academi who are mostly ex U.S. military. I doubt anyone in Academi would be interested in joining drug lords and betraying his employer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbviajero Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Mexican law enforcement is subject to bribes. They can be bought, paid to participate or look the other way. It is common. Paying a professional to do a job is not buying the person, it is paying him. See the difference? Why don't you try something new, like debating the subject and not attacking the person? I am debating the subject and I think that your idea of Mexico hiring a US based mercenary firm like Blackwater to bring law and order to Mexico is absurd.

Joco Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 americans think thay can solve the worlds problems. meanwhile no one asked your opinion. certainly not the mex gov! i have no opinion, its not my country. they also dont want my opinion in my own home town USA. the drug biz is not my biz. all i know if that topdog cartel leader was listed in forbes mag (many years back) as the 749th richest man in the world. they said his business was "shipping". he has many legal businesses as well. the lines blur. Americans and most educated societies have solved problems with words. I never read that Mexico told us not to have thoughts or ideas about problems in the country. What difference does it make if a criminal is rich. Isn't that the goal of being a criminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh I wish you had told me that before I wrote it. It is a suggestion among hundreds of suggestions. You know it will never happen so why are you upset about it?

alex45920 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I was suggesting that legalizing drugs could lead to worse behavior that would injure more innocent people. What part of that do you not understand? I was NOT suggesting that drugs be legalized. I never said that you suggested legalizing drugs. That was my suggestion. I said you should read the report of the Global Commission on Drug Policy before making your decision on the consequences of legalizing drugs. Let me say it another way: You should read the report of the Global Commission on Drug Policy before drawing your conclusion that the legalization of drug use would lead to worse alternatives. I don't know why this is so difficult to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kookielendmeyourcomb Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 The UN is a peacekeeping organization. It does not set up governments or run governments. It cannot fail at running a government because that is not what it does. http://www.un.org/en/documents/charter/chapter1.shtml Ok, just an example...re UN....look at Cambodia early 1990s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joco Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ok, just an example...re UN....look at Cambodia early 1990s I never suggested that the U.N. send peace keeping forces to Mexico which would be against the Mexican Constitution so why are you directing this to me? The U.N. was peacekeeping and allowing elections, not running the government, http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/past/untacbackgr1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
