Ridge: Mexico's war stance won't draw sanctions
San Diego Union-Tribune, Apr. 25 – The Bush administration is still "deeply disappointed" in Mexico for its opposition to the war in Iraq, but the "family" rift will not result in long-term damage or sanctions, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said yesterday. After a tour of the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings with his Mexican counterpart, Interior Secretary Santiago Creel, Ridge signaled for reconciliation, saying the countries must collaborate on matters of border security, illegal immigration and even rebuilding Iraq. (Quotes Chuck Nathanson, executive director of San Diego Dialogue, a regional public policy program at University of California, San Diego).
