Rangel writes:
It is too bad Mexican President Calderón had to cut short the recent summit with President Bush and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. But it’s understandable. Although Hurricane Dean was not as devastating as Mexican authorities had feared, had Calderón stayed for the planned duration of the so-called Three Amigos Summit and the storm had caused massive damage, his countrymen would not have forgiven him. The get-together, which lasted less than 24 hours, dealt mostly with mutual tri-lateral issues such as preparedness for natural and man-made disasters, as well as how the three nations can keep trading with one another as the United States tightens control of its borders. But there was something missing. If Bush, Calderón and Harper had met for as long as they had planned, maybe, just maybe, before departing they would have spelled out just what the Security and Prosperity Partnership is all about and how it is supposed to achieve its goals.
