The only thing worse than a Mexican Stand Off is a Peace Pact that Fails!

About This Quote

This quote is an example of Mexican Stand Off. A Mexican Stand Off is a situation where two parties are unable to reach an agreement because one side fears that the other might not be able to keep their end of the bargain. The classic example of this is the standoff that occurs whenever the US and Mexico try to negotiate a border adjustment tax. The US wants a lower rate, but Mexico wants a higher rate. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the Mexicans are very worried that America might not be able to make good on its end of the bargain if they don’t impose a high tariff on Mexican goods.
