Mulling over Rene Laederach to Steve Asher 14 Sep 2003

Apparently there is a move in parts of Mexico to reclaim the American
Southwest ["Aztlan"], including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico 
& parts of Colorado & Texas. 

The USA is pretty much impregnable against external foes, such as the
hyped-up Iraq, but possibly could be destroyed from within by exploiting
the civil war sentiments, "liberal versus conservative" divide, etc.

Cheers, Steve..
