| Take that, war doubters! According to the latest "failed states index" from Foreign Policy Magazine, Iraq is NOT the most unstable country in the world ... it's the second most unstable country in the world! IN YOUR FACE, SUDAN!!!
Update: Of the countries that changed for the worse last year, three were in Africa: Somalia, Equatorial Guinea (surprise, surprise) and Niger. But lebanon changed for the worst -- down nearly 12 percent from the index last year. And among those that got better, there were some that were more or less expected -- Bosnia and Indonesia have made significant strides, and Liberia, with its new, female president, Ms. Johnson Sirleaf, appears to be on an up-trend. But surprisingly, "me dad's" country, the DRC, also took a turn for the better. Well, I guess when things can't get much worse... Labels: Iraq, Iraq war, Middle East, Sudan, U.S. foreign policy |
