Which is the greater evil? Legalized narcotics for America's young or a failed state of 110 million on our southern border?
Heeding the advice of Gen. David Petraeus, Barack Obama has committed

Prediction: After all
U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Korea have come home, there will

millions streaming north from the Maghreb and Middle East, sub-Sahara
and South Asia.
Some 2,500 federal troops are already in Juarez, where in 2008 there
were 1,600 drug-related murders. Gun battles occur every day.
Nationally, 45,000 army troops and police are committed to this war
that Mexico is not winning. For, according to the March 3 Washington
Times, the Pentagon now estimates the cartels field more than 100,000
foot soldiers.
The chief of police of Juarez just resigned

the chief's deputy. Last year, 50 police officers in Juarez were
murdered.
