The article says, "It makes sense for Mexico's President Vicente Fox to meet with Cuban dissidents and recognize that they exist." This article styles his opposition "leftist"--but they were the Establishment in Mexico, even more so than the journalists/"intellectuals"/plaintiff lawyers/liberal politicans are here.

This, from the LA Times?

The salient point is that for the first time Mexico has a president who was selected by a really competitive election and not a pro forma Potemkin affair. A necessary--but all-too-clearly not sufficient--condition for having a rights-respecting government . . .

More excellent points.
