Hmmm.... interesting article... might be worth a look... seem to be saying the U.S. is not paying enough attention in that direction? is this cause for concern... ? Report: Growing Islamic Extremism In Latin America Poses ‘Major Security Threat’ To US
Gotta wonder why they aren't trying to populate and take over (par ex.) the weak economic situation in Argentina. And, considering the reputation the Federales used to have in Mexico, I am not surprised they are avoiding Mexico for the time being (other than as a highway.)
I do know there are some places that aren't as well known that we support against Islamic extremism such as the Philippines. Also, here in America what we think might be a serious problem in other countries is simply an inconvenience or Standard Operating Procedure. For example, I've been and/or lived in a few countries much, much smaller and poorer than America but any problem such as this is dealt with directly and immediately - meaning - they pick them up and put two in their head, after interrogation of course. No courts, no news reporters, no problem. Problem solved. And, it sends a clear message... You might hear on the news that they picked up a cell or a group but that is it and nothing more is ever heard. I know it sounds harsh but, in truth, I felt safer against terrorists in those third-world countries than here in the states. In the West, the terrorists use our own laws against us and to their benefit. Sad but true...
