Vandals cut Minutemen's border fence

[slzy]

excactly how is defending our own border gonna look any worse to the "world" than,say,bombing cambodia?

if my last post was ambigious let me put it another way in the venacular of our youths;"World,talk to the hand"

The fence is working, if not literally it is symbolically. Even if it had no effect at all, I still would build it if it continued to PO the Mexican and US federal govt, and those beacons of humanity-the coyotes.
Our representatives still keep a straight face when they talk about how important our security is, when anyone can WALK HERE at any time.
More of this will surely follow, and the WORLD is watching us, many intently wanting us to fail in the protection of our borders. We will keep it clean and give our critics no ammunition.
Not bad for a bunch of weekend warriors, eh mordecai?

The U.S. governement wants to avoid what that civil war could cause and so does it's best to keep Mexico "stable" even if it destablizes us.

Stability means protecting American business interests in Mexico. Bush wants to evangelize when it comes to Iraq but is hands-off as regards Mexico. It will take a revolution in Mexico to stop the narco-economy there. Maybe our Government is afraid stopping the narco-economy there will shrivel up the narco-economy here?
