A modest proposal
[P]robably the most important policies the United States can pursue, in addition to supporting Mexico and disrupting the flow of weapons, is to increase its efforts to combat money laundering and reduce and prevent consumption of illegal drugs, especially cocaine, in the United States.

From remarks at the Congressional Forum On Violence and Firearms Trafficking to Mexico (30 June 2011).
Maybe the best way for the United States to “support Mexico” would be to apply the “assistance” they provide us at home. Why don’t Mexico and the United States just trade tactics? We’ll supply machetes in lieu of AK-47s and 50 cals, invest the narco money here on something useful like… oh… rural development projects and irrigation instead of wasteful things like propping up banks and Wall Street investment firms and let the gangsters on the distribution end have a go at chopping off various peoples´ heads for a change.

Supply machetes? Hillary, Barack and Janet would go nuts. Their drones would quickly see that there ALREADY must be 40 million Mexicans armed with machetes and they walk down the street of EVERY rural pueblo in the country with them at their sides. Yikes!
