A "real" democracy...

President Vicente Fox of Mexico made one of the most important speeches of his presidency this week when he promised that Mexico City's mayor, the front-runner in the presidential elections to be held next year, would not be barred from the race by a dubious legal move. By showing that a fair process is more important than his party's advantage, Mr. Fox acted like the leader of a real democracy.

damn...! now there's a concept...! way back when, dubya used to buddy-buddy up to vicente... guess he must have decided that both of them owning ranches and wearing boots just wasn't enough in common to carry the friendship...
