Mexico is the way it is because America pumps guns and money into it in exchange for drugs. The CIA is funded by the Cocaine trade from the Central and South American nations.

You're also full of shit about Malaysia. I've traveled through Malaysia by bus and train. I've hung out with backpackers from the US, Europe and Australia. We never had any trouble moving freely and never once worried about our safety. One of the girls with us, a school teacher, went by herself, via cab to an elephant reserve and got to see some amazing animals. One of the girls I met was from Germany and had been teaching in a village for over two years and had learned quite a bit of Malay. She traveled frequently through the country by herself.

The only thing I was afraid of in Malaysia was this weird guy from Holland in our hostel who had lost his job in the Netherlands and an accountant because he refused to fix books during the late 2000s financial crisis. He started yelling at us one night when we were sitting around eating; started ranting about kids on their cellphones and how no one sees what's real in this world. He checked out a day early and thankfully we never saw him again.
