The comments of “Emperor Pedro” have merit as an American nation should not to be getting involved with the wolves of Europe. However we have been dealing with the wolves ever since the founding of our great republic. Fresh from a civil war of our own we had the French and British hounds at the gate ready to collect the debt racked up by the conservatives. President Juarez rather than allow for us to default on the debt and engage in another war he struck up a compromise. A treaty I am not too fond of but it allowed for Mexico a chance to rebuild rather than engage in another pointless war with the powers of Europe. This treaty bought us time and allowed us to rise from the ashes of the many wars that decorated our nation’s history within in the last 30 or so years. However the wolves again were at the gate and we are pressed with a choice of letting Mexico bleed once more or allow for the fighting to place far away from the shores of the land we hold dear. President Juarez made his decision and with that we will have to bare the consequences. However I intend to carry my civic duty as general to prevent the villages and haciendas we hold dear from ever burning again. ¡Viva México!
