I doubt it, but even if it were so, so what?  The only penalty for violating
a peace treaty is resumption of hostilities... which wouln't help you --
suppose the US goes down and kicks Mexico's butt (and would there be any
doubt?).  Now what?  The US must either annex the territory (which makes
all those 'illegals' 100% legal, and as free to cross the state border
as anyone else) or run Mexico as an occupied territory (a really bad
idea).

Every time they kick a programmer, 1000 users are kicked too, and harder.
A proposed US law called the CBDTPA would ban the PC as we know it. 
This is not a joke, not an exaggeration.  This is real.
