Washington dispatch argues Mexico’s 20th century turmoil is a 300 year power system led by strongmen. Simms notes leaders like Juarez faced Diaz, Madero, Huerta, Carranza, Obregon and Calles, with true democracy eroded by military insistence on rule. The piece frames current unrest as leaders forcing access to power through force rather than mass action.
