Looking up a date for the Punitive Expedition in Wikipedia, I found the article coincidentally contained good advice for a person with many lovers passing through a country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancho_Villa_Expedition That was back in 1916, but: > Can you imagine the current Mexican government > reacting the same way today?

Yes! And that sounds like what is happening in Iraq after the US invaded them. It sounds like what will happen in Lebanon after Israel invades them. In fact, it sounds exactly like what has been happening in Palestine since the Israel government drove 100,000's of people out of their homes. And Israel started that attack over 50 years ago.
