    Fighting them is gonna cause way more bus loads to die then just leaving them be. The cartels aren’t evil psychopaths who kill for fun, they know violence is bad for business. The only downside to leaving them alone is they’ll send more drugs to the u.s which isn’t Mexico’s problem.

      I don’t believe that. Other Central and South American countries have had success meeting the cartels head on.

      Sure some short term death spikes but the long term result is a drastic reduction in violent deaths.

        So the US can fill the power vacuum with more cartels again? Are you just looking to give the MIC more money?
