If I were the leader of a country, and a neighboring country supplied arms to insurgents (cartels) inside my country, I would consider that an Act of War.

I wish I could disagree with you
Deliberate Subversion of a duly elected
Sovereign State can be construed
as a declared war if it is a work of a nation

A criminal act if it is a act of an
individual or organization

Absolutely! This is the point that doesn’t get enough attention.

Mexican officials learned of “Gunwalker” from news reports

“At no time did we know or were we made aware that there might have been arms trafficking permitted,” Mexican Attorney General Marisela Morales told the Los Angeles Times in a recent interview. “In no way would we have allowed it, because it is an attack on the safety of Mexicans.”

Morales apparently found out about the deadly U.S. program by reading news reports. And she says Mexico still has not received an explanation from American officials — let alone an apology.

While reluctant to speak out before the results of pending American investigations, the chief Mexican law enforcement officer told the Times that purposefully allowing guns into the hands of Mexican cartels would be a “betrayal” of her country.

And according to Congressmen probing the gunrunning scheme such as Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), that is exactly what happened.

You'd think so, but then our own government has had proof for years that Iran has been actively supplying the Taliban and insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq, killing our troops, and nothing from the administrations.
