Fox fans reluctantly endorsed our June 23 evaluation of their leader but remained loyal to him for returning democracy to Mexico. One praised the story as "accurate and well documented," but another found it "ill timed, to say the least." A third fretted, "A useless oppostion will [stop] development."

The Mess in Mexico

Your June 23 article "Has Fox Flopped?" is both accurate and well documented. Mexico's President Fox has many drawbacks. However, if the 2000 elections were to be held today with the same candidates, Fox would be elected again, according to your figure--a 64 percent approval rating--which coincides with the general feeling here. There is no one in the political arena who can outperform him, even in the 2006 elections. With the Congress viciously opposing every presidential program, the media digging out inconsequential events of his personal life and making headlines out of them, and the opposition parties sponsoring mobs to overrun the streets every day with unwarranted demands, any president could flop. We Mexicans have yet to discover that democracy does not mean anarchy. President Fox has been fulfilling our expectations since Dec. 1, 2000, when he ended 71 years of corruption.

Palmas, Mexico

Your article on president Fox was ill timed to say the least. It looked like an attempt to discredit a man who had the courage and integrity to stand up to an enormous amount of pressure to join the United States' Iraq adventure--which, as it is now turning out, is the real flop.
