It is time to end these drug cartels by whatever means it takes. The President of Mexico’s “ hugs, not bullets” policy is a FAILURE. He needs to get tough on them (take them out) or allow us to come in and do it. Either way the Cartels need to be destroyed.

So sickening. Innocent kids burned alive in a car. For what????

As much as people scream about ISIS, we have the same sick animals killing innocent Americans, right at our border.

Slain U.S. citizens were part of Mormon offshoot with sordid history

The nine U.S. citizens killed in a brutal ambush in Mexico belonged to a fundamentalist Mormon group that had been touched by cartel violence before.

This is crazy. I feel terrible for those kids.

It’s awful. Sickening. But we don’t have to look across the border to be horrified by violence. We’ve got people standing at the windows of high rises and in the halls of our schools mowing down innocent civilians in a matter of seconds.

I do agree that if there is more we can do to *help* our neighbors in Mexico to address cartel violence, we should, but not in a politically condescending sense that looks past the proverbial beam in our own eye.

A report on the tv news says that about 8 other kids survive because a 13 year got them out, hid them, then walked 14 miles to get help. That boy is a hero!

True..........but I have traveled a lot in Mexico, it is a beautiful country with some of the best scenery in the world. However, today I would not step foot in that country, for all the money in the world.

Maybe I am naive, but I feel much safer, in our country.

I don't think you are naive - the murder rate in Mexico is almost 6 times that of the US.

I don't know about innocent.

There is a number of "religious themed" compounds in México that they themselves are involved in the drug and arms trades. I didn't know about the Mormons up North, but I do know about Mennonite compounds in Campeche and Quintana Roo. And with compounds in Sonora and Chihuahua, my money is that this attack was definitely not random.

Oh, I understand and share your concerns. I’ve declined opportunities to travel to Mexico. Of course, all of this is complicated by our nation’s role in the drug trade and ensuing violence.

From what I understand, the ‘tourist’ pockets of the country, resorts etc are fairly immune to the type of criminal activity that goes on in the rest of Mexico.. it looks like this attack occurred in a non tourist area, for sure.

That said, I’ve never been to Mexico and have no plans to go any time in the near future.

Is the government of Mexico legitimate when it backs down to the cartel? I think a strong case can be made that it isn't. I'm not sure what steps to take, but a good one would be national legalization of marijuana. Hit the cartels in the pocket book and stop ruining American lives in the process. Then go after the cartels themselves. Something needs to change. We can't have such powerful criminal, terroristic organizations operating next to and in our country.
