Celebrate Cinco de Mayo - Victory Over Invaders!

The problem is the invaders were of Mexico not the United States.

1. I didn't know that President Bush celebrated Cinco de Mayo at the White House and felt he had to apologize because he skipped the 2003 celbration.

2. I didn't know that Mexico pulled out of its 45-year old mutual defense treaty with the United States on the grounds that it didn't want to participate in any actual, well, defense.

3. I didn't know that Mexico officially celebrates May Day, the International Socialist holiday.

4. I didn't know that another official Mexican holiday is the "Nationalization of the Petroleum Industry," one of the biggest robberies in history.

After you read about exposé provided, ask yourself: Why should Americans be asked to celebrate or apologize for not celebrating a holiday that has nothing to do with our history?
