Regime change

[Tricky]

I think people are a little too quick to criticize President Bush's international policy. He looks like he may be very successful in bringing about a regime change...

In England, Turkey, Pakistan, Mexico....

*rotfl* and without a single shot being fired! If Bush announced a special relationship with Iraq and called Saddam his best buddy, Saddam would be out in an instant!

Hello my friend, :)

You know what Tricky?, I don't have a very nice reputation in this
forum. The reason why is because when I read typical arrogant comments like yours, I suddenly become an anti-USA b*tch :mad: .

The regime change in Mexico was the result of an internal democratization process that took many many years. It also involved a lot of Mexicans that were fighting for it within their own positions (political parties, intellectual cicles and civil society).


Bush?, who the hell is Bush?

Bush?, who the hell is Bush?


I think he is the acting leader of some banana republic or other.....I seem to remember something about a rigged election...... :confused:

A variation on a joke I heard once about El Pelón:

Lencho: "Alvero, tengo unas noticias buenas y unas noticias malas."

Alvero: "Digame las noticias buenas, por favor."

Lencho: "OK. Bush tiene la SIDA."

Alvero: "¿Bush tiene la SIDA? ¿Son las noticias buenas? ¿Qué quizás sea las noticias malas?

Lencho: "Ya chingó el país, buey."

He, he, he...

Nice Joke :D :D

But, I am not complaining about this relationship between the USA and Mexico. Whether or not we like it, Mexico depends on the US economy to achieve its own national goals. It is a fact. However, regarding democracy and regime change, the US has nothing to do with Mexico's internal affairs.

Yeah, we must always remember where and by how many votes Bush won the elections.

Speaking of regime change and democracy :rolleyes:

Cool your jets, Q. This was intended as a bit of humorous Bush-bashing.

I know that a lot of what you say is true. Indeed, you are much closer to the situation in Mexico than I, in fact, I sort of added Mexico to the "regime change" list as an afterthought. There is a great deal of media coverage about how Mexico is not coming out strongly for the US invasion and how Fox is trapped in an unwinnable situation; Either he must support a very unpopular war (and wind up voted out) or he must severely damage political ties with the US, potentially wrecking the Mexican economy (and wind up voted out).

Anything which carefully examined all the international factors and repercussions of our actions would not be a joke. Nor would it be the Bush foreign policy. ;)

You forgot the smilies, Tricky ;)

He is in the same situation than Blair. But in this case, I think that Fox prefers to keep the Mexican population happy instead of committing political suicide as Blair.

But in the long run, it may not be a good choice for the country.

Wow, can I call 'em? Almost a year ago to the day. Okay, I didn't have Spain in the list, but hey, the war had just started. I didn't know who was going to back Bush.
