Fox: Mexico Doesn't Fear U.S. Reprisal

MEXICO CITY (AP)

President Vicente Fox said Tuesday Mexico isn't worried abut the United States'
reprisal if it doesn't back a resolution supporting war with Iraq, and said Mexico
would not accept any unilateral U.S. action to disarm Iraq.

Also Tuesday, officials confirmed that Mexico's foreign secretary had tried to revive
a Canadian compromise proposal on the conflict in a Saturday meeting with
Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Mexico, a member of the U.N. Security Council, is one of several nations that has
declined to say how it would vote on a U.S.-backed resolution paving the way for
war with Iraq. ...

But on Tuesday Fox told a meeting of businessmen in the central state of
Aguascalientes: ``We are not going to accept any unilateral decisions.''

``We say 'No war, yes to peace,''' Fox told the crowd. ``Imagine what kind of world
we would have if everybody took unilateral decisions about starting a war.''
