>Hold on.......we didn't start the war with Mexico......they attacked a garrison in TX. We put that garrison there to draw fire. >Ten cents on the dollar? Where did you come up with that figure? From my head. Was making a point that it was cheap. >Come on.....$18 million back then is probably worth a couple of billion these days. Not bad for what was mostly semi desert wasteland. And 1,500 miles of critical coastline. The point is, they did not want to sell it until we kicked the crap out of them. >I am blaming them. I think its pretty stupid especially considering what a mess they have made with the rest of their country. Losers of big wars tend to be messes for several generations afterwards. Besides, you don't think we'd still be bitter if Canada had taken twenty states worth of our land a century ago? -Z
