    Never really cared to visit Mexico. I mean if they have the balls and co-ordination to attack army bases, whats to stop them from hitting anywhere else?

    It was a fun place 20 years ago... :wink:

    Far too many of the "destination" or "holiday" countries are becoming too dangerous to travel to. Jamaica is another example, you don't dare leave the enclosed compounds of the resorts and just go hang around in town.

    Yeah, Mexico was great back in the mid 80's.

    Jamaica is still heaven compared to Mexico.(But trying to catch up)

    There are still lots of great, safe Caribbean destinations for sun-seekers: Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Curacao, Virgin Islands, Cuba, etc. Why would anyone even CONSIDER Mexico or Jamaica?

    The reason the cartels are attacking the army bases is to steal guns and ammo.

    Drove to Puerta Vallarta in '95

    No passport,
    6 month visa with a driver's licence. :)


    Things have changed.


    The Mexican gov't says it shows the cartels are getting desparate.
    Cynic says the cartels are now strong enough to mount unit-size attacks.

    Who to beleive ?

    The Democrats in the USA consider the Mexicans to be a constituency because Mexican immigrants (legal and illegal) vote Democrat by around a 95% margin. So any talk of a NAU will include the Mexicans because the selfish, self-serving Democrats won't have it any other way.

    That is a shame. A NAU with Canada would be a very positive thing, but a union with Mexico would import all that violence (and having to deal with it) as our own.

    If I remember correctly you had suggested that the capital of the NAU
    should be established in Churchill presumably so that the polar bears
    could munch on a few a the Congressional idiotic numbskulls either
    Democratic or Republicans (stupidity has no party allegiance).

    On the whole that seems like a good idea as somebody(the Polar Bears)
    would get some use of them (LUNCH), it occurred to me that that
    we might face charges of animal cruelty by feeding them toxic
    refuse.

    I apologize for moving off the thread but I could resist the
    opportunity to show some contempt for Congress.
