THE CRESCENT EAGLE PARTY

**Mexico**
 * Foreign ** **Policy**
 * Drug Cartels: ** The US involvement in internal Mexican affairs needs to change. We need to either accept more people into our country or step in and help the people in this war stricken country. IF we were to let people into this country we could save many lives. However our unemployment rate is at 8.6% so fortunately there is another plan that we can implement if needed. The solution of stepping in could work well, this does not necessarily mean that we need to step in militarily. We can help interview Mexican military workers to ensure there is little corruption within the task force. Resulting in stronger enforcement of laws and the decrease of drug cartel violence and drug trafficking.

**Africa**
 * Civil wars and Child soldiers: ** Some of the most tragic stories heard around the world come form the civil wars of Sierra Leone and Uganda. In both of these wars the rebels used an estimated 10,000 child soldiers each. These are not the only instances in Africa were these stories have been seen. All over africa and all over the world child soldiers are being used. We need to help, need to step in. The Geneva Convention needs to be enforced stronger to ensure that children will not have to be used as weapons. These children need to be helped not only because what is happening to them is wrong but also because these children have potential. One of them could find the cure for cancer or be the next Steve Jobs.
