Quantos pesos?

It is time to seriously consider buying Mexico. We bought parts of it before, so maybe they'll be in a selling mood again. We would purchase three major assets, although one of them would come with some opposition from extremist environmentalists.

First, we would gain an unlimited supply of workers who could be exploited by disreputable American businessmen. Then there would be thousand of men to serve as cannon fodder to face the scimitars of the Islamic jihadists. Finally, there's the oil. Glorious gallons of oil being extracted from the Gulf of Mexico, and all we'll have to do is fend off Greenpeace and other pipeline huggers. Perhaps we could appease them by giving them that 15% of Mexico that is arable land on which to grow organic foods and produce ethanol. Let them put those inefficient windmills on the mountain tops, and encourage them to examine the energy potential of cow flop. We'll keep them busy thinking about hydrogen (expensive) and solar (unwieldy). While they are otherwise distracted, we will keep the world running on Pemex oil.
