All too often. however. it would appear that our relationship is cursed by some sort of reverse alchemy that turns a potentially golden friendship into the base metal of acrimony and petty bickering. If Mexico and the United States cannot stand together on an issue as clearcut and significant as the crisis in Iran. it is difficult to envision how in the future we will be able to resolve the farranging and complex problems that plague our friendship. We must recognize that there will always be problems between Mexico and the United States: Vast. human problems like immigration. issues of enormous significance like trade. and the inevitable. daytoday problems of neighbors. The true test of our relationship is not the existence of problems but whether we can work as neighbors to establish an environment of good will and mutual respect in which problems can be resolved. Despite my disappointment over Mexican attitudes and actions during the Iranian crisis.
