[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3101979, member: 13624"] Same answer: if we do it as official policy, it's a whole lot different than an "isolated incident." Despite our willingness to go to war in far-off lands, we do [I]not[/I] want a hot shooting war on our borders, [I]especially[/I] with so many sympathizers residing within our own borders. All the arguments we give as to why armed private citizens could be a thorn in the side of a tyrannical fed.gov apply fully to the idea of a war with Mexico as well. We could [I]conquer[/I] Mexico in a month, but we could never [I]subdue[/I] it, and we'd pay a heavy price for trying. [/QUOTE]
