Oops! Our troops and resources are all overseas and politicians don't have the balls to do it. Never mind.

Excuse my hyperbole. I'm not really sure drone strikes across the border on cartels would be the wisest idea either but it sounded cool.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
