I wouldn't necessarily say they're in bed with them, officials get assassinated regularly if they aren't complacent. The USA government, even with our massive military can't simply commit genocide to the entire cartels

We DO have our own problems to deal with, it's not our problem to deal with the problems of other countries, that's why I really wish Ron Paul had been elected, his policies are much more isolationist which I really like. I don't really care about the whole "land of opportunity" crap, I'm not the one saying that, that's other people. I'm tired of this country helping people only for those same people to pomegranate all over us. Why the pineapple do we still give aid to Hamas and other terrorist groups? The only country that actually seems to have our back is Israel, and that's likely only because they want us to help them tame their pomegranatety ass region, the second the middle east is a smoldering nuclear wasteland they will be done with us and treat us just as badly as everyone else. We are only bringing this upon ourselves, if you give, others take, and take, and take, never satisfied, always asking for more. At this point we are responsible for the middle east because we are the ones that pineappleed it up so badly, the best solution is to draw in and not give anyone ANYTHING that resembles help, they just use that help to strike back at us. Eventually, the population will stabilize as all of the people that need aid to survive die off, solving all resource crises, also, those terrorist organizations will have NO BASE TO DRAW FROM, nobody to kidnap and place in their armies, nobody to volunteer or donate or even for the organizations to steal from, and they will all go under as well. It's insensitive, it's mean, and I'm a plantain for saying it, but it's the truth, and the truth is almost never "nice". There don't need to be anywhere near this many people on the planet, and if people won't keep it in their pants and plan ahead, drastic times call for drastic measures.
Believe me, I agree we need to stop aiding other countries, especially not until Detroit is fixed up. You also have to understand our international ties unfortunately gives us a responsibility of support in a cause we deem justified. I honestly think we should just leave the middle east in general, too many countries have tried to intervene in their wars with no real dent.
We aren't the world police, but when a country is overflowing with innocent people trying to break in because of the danger at home, I believe that is an acceptable and necessary reason to intervene, especially being a neighboring country. Cut off their product, and they will deteriorate or weaken to the point of shoving them over. This isn't a problem we should simply turn a blind eye too, it does affect us, at our very home.
