Why? Why would Bush be terrified of offending the president of Mexico?

Except that most of the Mexican army is already on the take from the drug cartels and will probably help them.

Actually, that's not true. If you want to adjust your statement to say "most of Mexican police is already on the take", sure, I'll agree with you. But their military is surprisingly non-corrupted. Not perfect, no, but neither is our Border Patrol considering the whole Douglas NM scandal.

Heck, half of these "hitmen" are probably ex Mexican military anyhow.

I don't have any proof one way or the other on that, and I doubt you do, either. But most of the Mexican military are young Mexicans that are simply fulfilling a two-year obligation to serve in the military. If they're lucky, most of them will leave the military not being afraid to hold an automatic weapon. Most of them probably even shot one a few times. But highly trained military "hitmen?" That describes an extremely small fraction of the Mexican military.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this turns into a shooting war. I'll also not be surprised if Bush starts punishing Americans who are doing *HIS* job on the border.

I would hope he would. The border should be defended, but not by unlicensed vigilantes. If they want to defend the border, they should join the Border Patrol.
