As Mexico's border violence between the government and drug cartels increases, Texas is bringing out the big guns (literally) and abandoning the fence in preparation for the worst:
"Worst-case scenario, Mexico becomes the Western hemisphere's equivalent of Somalia, with mass violence, mass chaos," said Ted Galen Carpenter, vice president for defense and foreign policy at the Cato Institute, a Washington-based think tank. "That would clearly require a military response from the United States."
Of course, it could be worse:

I love the map! Odd that the russian dude seems to think that it our federal gov't fell the states would fall under the influence of other nations, even though his California Republic, Texas Republic, and Atlantic America would be in the top ten or twenty world economies on their own. What an ass.
The problem here is drugs. Specifically, the fact that people in the United States want drugs. There are 3 possible suppliers for drugs: the government, business, or the black market. For the last 80 years or so, we've allowed the black market to provide the drugs that people want and will continue to want. The answer is obviously not combating people's desire for drugs (good luck making people not want to alter their consciousness), and clearly we're doing a piss-poor job keeping the black market from supplying the drugs. The answer, then, seems to be allowing another supplier, i.e. the government or business, to step in and provide the drugs, eliminating the need for the black market. Why buy drugs from a dealer when you can buy them legally from somewhere legit?
