Are You Saying All Mexicans are Lazy and Stupid?

Are you implying that Mexicans are lazy and stupid and criminally inclined and lackadaisical about establishing honest government?

As for taking a stand for responsible government, haven't you heard about Mexico's overthrow of the French puppet Emperor Maximilian in 1867 and the ousting of the colonial Spanish government in 1821? Haven't you heard of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920?

Remember, that was the revolution that President Wilson sent Gen. Pershing to invade Mexico from the north and the US Marines to invade and occupy occupy Veracruz to secure American oil and Chase Manhattan and Brown Brothers investments? Remember that revolution? The revolution that killed more than 1 million women and men and children of a population of 15 million Mexicans? I'd call that self-determination in a quest for good government. Wouldn't you?

And what about the Zapatistas and their struggle for Mexico's indigenous people against the American-equipped, CIA-schooled federales? I'd say the Mexican people have fought quite a lot for their future - despite our best efforts to subvert them.

As for breaking another country's laws and ignoring national borders, you probably forgot that North American military forces have illegally invaded Mexico four times; in 1846, 1905, 1914, and 1917. It would be nice for Mexico if we stopped meddling in their politics and kidnapping their citizens from their own country. And I'd say you are terribly ignorant about American history. I'd say you know virtually nothing about our manipulation of Central America. I'd say you don't know what you're talking about. I'd say you should learn the subject before you shoot your mouth off again. Go smoke a cigar with Subcommandante Marcos. Learn.
