I have to believe Tony Garza. He knows what is going on in Oaxaca. There is no doubt that the shooters were probably the Mexican police. Garza has warned Americans many times about going to Mexico. Like I said V. Fox should have taken care of this last spring.
The leftest PRI party and the leftest PAN party are converging. Let me assure you that all the political parties are way left in Mexico and this includes the PRD party.
The red shirts are anarchists. This is not a Mexican revolution.
Garza is very in with the Fox government. For some reason, the Fox government is very opposed to the police in Oaxaca, probably because it perceives them as controlled by the PRI, which is no doubt true. It was for this reason that the police were confined to their barracks when this all began (although it is certainly possible that some have slipped out).
As for the red shirts, if they are on the side opposed to the PRD, they couldn't be anarchists. I guess the whole problem lies in figuring out which side appears in the photographs, since it's not entirely clear who was doing what.
It's not a revolution, but if an entire Mexican state is taken over by a force hostile to the government and the US and friendly to Chavez, it should certainly be news. I mean, if even tiny Rhode Island got taken over by the Communists (or, more likely, the Mafia) here, it would be not be a good sign, right?
The PRD represents the Far Left in Mexican politics. Why were certain Freepers cheering on Obrador?
PRD is the farthest to the left, PRI is somewhat to the left of the US Democrat Party, PAN is about like a bunch of country club RINOs. More or less.
