of greed, repression, unemployment (which tripled under his presidency), the impunity of rapists and torturers, and of electoral fraud is nothing to honor. The only people he has helped have been himself (and his wife) by robbing the Mexican public. A small victory against a corrupt racist looking for prestige he doesn't deserve!

Failed the Mexican people? How exactly did he fail the Mexican people? By failing to undo in 6 years the damage that had been done by a corrupt center-left quasi-dictatorship over the past 70 years? No, believe me you that Fox has failed nobody. He has not been a perfect President, but he has removed PRI from power, and that will do just fine. The work of President Vicente Fox may not have been glamorous but it set the groundwork for President Calderon to build on.

Human Rights abuse in Mexaco. Tell me its not so In a country where they shoot employees that try to organize a union or are killed when they go out on strike. In a erra where more and more jobs are sent out of North America to Mexaco why dose this country not care about its people. These are hard working strong people proud people that want to take control of there lives and for years and years they have tried to take charge of there lives and there country. How could this and right next to the richest country in the world. My thoughts are to many people that are Fat, Dumb, and Happy in the government of Mexaco and in the House and Senate of the United States and the former resident of the whitehouse George W. Bush and his Right winged Republican friends. When do you have enough, how much mones is enough how mant houses can you live in at a time. This is not enen touching the situation of the drugs and all the Mexican people who have been killed this past year from all the Cartells violence of the past and recent. Where was Mr. Fox when he was President of Mexaco. Did he champion any of these causes or a million other causes for the Mexican people. I believe it is just that Mr. Fox will not be speaking at the University of New Mexaco and I do not believe he should ever speake there he failled the Mexican People. I also believe the only other person that has failled his countrymen more than Mr. Fox is Mr W. Bush. Just look at the situation of the worlds economy now. Then under Mr Bushe and the Republicans tutilage they gave Wall st. a blank check to bail them out. Keep Mr. Fox out!!
