[edit] History and democracy
I am sorry, but I had to revert your edits on Mexico:History. We can discuss it endlessly, if you wish, but the main reason was that the claim was properly sourced. While your opinion may be held true, to some account, you must source it. You cannot delete sourced claims based on personal opinions. --theDúnadan 05:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

- That was from 1853-1855, during the dictatorship of Antonio López de Santa Anna. Although during the French intervention he moved the government all the way to Paso del Norte (current Ciudad Juárez), he never left the country. He really made a point of staying in Mexico. Considering himself the personification of the republic, he believed the republic would cease to exist once he'd leave the country. Mixcoatl 06:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
