South America sucks.

Gee, I wonder why.

My theory is because the Mexican government and the drug cartels are one and the same organization. Maybe not technically, but they're all on the same payroll. Small wonder they want to cooperate with the U.S. in name only.

"The Mexican president said forces from both sides of the border should share information to try to stem the flow of illegal drugs and tackle the gangs who supply them."

Yes, so when the U.S. sends you some info, you pass it along to your cartel bosses so they can then watch their butts.

People worry about the Middle East...it's retarded when you look at the big picture. South America is pretty much the same sort of place, minus the Muslim crazies. It's got oil, crime, the works. The difference is that drugs from the region have done more damage to this country than any terrorist ever dreamed.

Do we do anything about South America? Nope. We treat it like our dirty little brother that we don't like to talk about. Like a Canada that never quite made it. Too late now, we're stuck in that retarded desert, we don't have the resources to deal with the festering sore directly to the south.

Dumb.
