Dear Al,
You have done it again. Your analysis of what is happening in Mexico is most illuminating. It's an analysis that you cannot find elswhere in the media, either in Mexico or international.
It is reconforting to read positive news, news that seem to indicate that there is hope.
I'm sure you would agree that the power of the establishment is such that there is very little that can be done to oppose it. Yet we all know that the power really resides in the masses, if they decide they want to take it. The next few weeks will be extremely important for Mexico (and for the rest of the world, but for different reasons) and yet, the idea of "la Otra Campaña", that the elections won't resolve the main issues is also quite true and it's good to know that capable people are thinking and working for after the elections.
If Lopez Obrador wins, there is some hope that he will have the vision to prepare Mexico for the 'big' issues: Peak Oil, greenhouse gasses and economic-finacial meltdown.
If he loses by fraud, things will get even hotter than they would otherwise.
Keep up the good work and keep informing us of the news that we would miss otherwise.
Thanks!
Ezio Cusi
