Worthy News: Mexico May Take Fence Dispute to U.N. - Washington Post

quote amor: "Mind you, I suppose they could also remind you that you violated their sovereignty by nicking most of Northern Mexico in the 19th century."

So, based on your argument, then the US should allow the Brits to come here illegally and start trying to outbreed Americans and take over the 13 lost colonies?

There is a thing called a treaty.

Usually one party in a conflict beat the snot out of the other party and forced the beaten party to sign a treaty, lest they get the snot kicked out of them again. The defeated party signs the treaty based on the conditions of the victor. They agree to the terms and go about their business. When we won the war with the Mexicans, they had to sign a treaty with us and give us the territory we demanded. They signed the treaty, just like the brits signed the treaty. It is rightfully ours and no one but the US has a claim to it. The people do not have a choice in the matter.

Your petty liberal mind needs to quit dwelling on the past and accept the current world conditions. Britain got it's rear end kicked from deep within our territory to the outer edges of it. Same goes with Mexico.

To the victor goes the spoils. Whining about alleged American imperialism is useless and very hipocritical, since it was British imperialism that lead to the creation of the US and the current condition of the middle east.

You lennonites need to get on with your lives and give peace a chance.

Peace is a requirement of treaties. Illegally entering a country and trying to outbreed that country's citizens is a subversive aggressive action towards that nation's sovereignty and violates the peace obligations of that treaty.

Muslims are using subversive tactics to take over Europe. Why would they choose France of all countries in Europe? It's because France is in the heart of Europe.

Then we should remind Mexico that it has violated our sovereignty by sending its military across the border to intimidate our border patrol and "steal" back the drugs that were discovered by our BP agents.

Mind you, I suppose they could also remind you that you violated their sovereignty by nicking most of Northern Mexico in the 19th century.

Your from England aren't you............................???? Talk about nicking other countries!

Yes, about time we reclaimed some of our East Coast real Estate.

You are few decades too late for that. As far as being a world power goes, Brittania no longer rules the waves, or much of anything else for that matter.

Not that it's done us as individuals great harm. Anyway, all Empires and "Great powers" sink in the end. The main source of international amusment at the moment , now the USSR has gone bottom up, is watching the USA flounder.

No, my not too serious argument was that given theopportunity posed by the imminent eclipse of the USA as the major world power, we should cooperate with the Mexicans, Canadians, the Russians (who would probably apreciate the return of Alaska) the French (who would certainly do more for New Orleans than the current regime); the native tribes,the oppresed classes within current US society. Together organise a combined uprising/multi-directional invasion and divi-up the dangerous entity. Sice this is an approach championed by many of the US neo-cons in regard to other countries, such an approach would seem to carry an element of poetic justice.

Given your silly obsession with your conspiracy theories - Mexicans taking over the USA, Muslims taking over France etc. I see nothing wrong with proposinga a little conspiracy of my own as outligned above.

[JustinM]

Those are not conspiracy theories Amor.

Have you heard of the Mexican gang called SS13? They are using the same argument for the mexican war as you used a few posts ago. They believe the US wrongfully took texas and california from them and they want it back. So does Mexico. Why do you think the Mexican government is not enforcing border control with America?

France is having to deal with the muslim population now. It has grown to a large enough size to cause problems within France. One French officer said, the muslims are having a civil war right now, within France. Muslim cab drivers in the USA are trying to impose shar'ia on American travellers, by refusing to give rides to any person in the posession of alcohol. Don't you see the precedent they are setting? They have infiltrated the public service department in America and are causing civil disorder by delaying travellers. What next? Unlawfully banning alcohol in communities that have a muslim majority? What happens when those communities spread outward?

[JustinM]

The US bought Alaska and Louisiana from Russia and France. It was lawfully purchased, your argument is rediculous.

Well its not going to happen, but if id did, much the same as when Christian Americans banned the production and distribution of alcohol. Anyway surely some American communities already legally ban alcohol? It doesn't appeal to me, but I think this is not a specifically Muslim issue.

[billie]

That's true, Amor. There are some "dry counties" in some states in America. I'm not sure if Christianity was the cause or not, but they're there.
