>Re: Bushies also reneged on Mexico. How so? I think I'm a bit unclear on this part of the betrayal habits of the Bushistas. TIA < Bush reneged on his promise offering amnesty to Mexicans who are working illegally in the States. This, and other bad faith actions on Mexico were the reasons why Mexico's president didn't support the war. Since Bush became president, relations with U.S. neighbours, including Canada and Chile, have deteriorated. Like I said, other than British Blair, Australia, and the small ex-communist countries, no other country in the world are friends of the Bush Administration. Mexico's President Snubs Bush cbsnews.com " Presidents Fox and Bush began their terms as close allies, meeting at the Mexican leader's ranch on the U.S. president's first foreign trip wearing cowboy boots and shirt sleeves, fawning over their newfound friendship. Mr. Bush said Fox made him "feel like I'm among family." But bilateral relations have become delicate in recent months, with Mexican politics becoming increasingly radicalized and a series of spats souring cooperation. Fox is the most pro-U.S. president in recent Mexican history, but his critics say U.S. officials still shrug off his requests and ignore Mexican interests on important issues. In addition to his failure to save Suarez's life, Fox has also been unable to hammer out a much-anticipated immigration agreement with American officials in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. A water dispute in which Mexico owes the United States millions of gallons of water and trade clashes over U.S. efforts to block certain Mexican agricultural imports have also served to cool relations between the two neighbors.
