Mexico Misunderstood

I have been fed up lately with a lot of comments about the situation of Mexico. I think that it is sad that quite a few people are suffering. They claim that it’s because of the government. I have to agree with that statement but a total difference sense.
If you go watch a movie halfway through it, and realize that they are fighting, your first reaction will be to have sympathy for the one who has been beaten up the worst, or the looser for all intents and purposes. However, you don’t know what happened before and the reason of the fight.
Likewise, when you contemplate the situation down in Mexico, the first reaction you will have is that there is chaos; the government can’t control the country. But if you look closely, you will realize that it is because of the courage of the government to step up and try to deter drug traffic that Mexico is in virtual chaos.
For many years now, Mexico has been an important supplier for illicit drugs to the United States. The US is the largest consumer of cocaine in the world. It is mainly imported from Mexico and Colombia. With a large demand like that, how do people suppose drug traffickers would react against a deterrence action by the government?
We need to admit that both Mexico and the US have shared liability to drug problem. They say that it is mainly corruption in Mexico that allows this to happen. But I ask: how can they not admit that there is corruption in the US in that matter as well? After all, they are the largest consumers of drugs in the world, and how come nobody is stopping them inside these borders?
Obama has openly offered help to Mexico in this new War on Drugs enterprise. How can Mexico compete to an army of cartels when they are been supplied with weapons by the US? Back in 1998 the CIA created a sister agency in Mexico. The CIA handed ID’s to top-level drug traffickers in Mexico giving them a virtual “license to traffic.” So now one wonders, what are the United States true colors? They have the DEA to control illegal drugs, while the secret CIA encourages drug traffickers on the side. But I suppose that is no corruption.
These are just a few points to ponder before we point down when there is a lot to work for here too.
