Failed States

What do Haiti, Somalia, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Burma all have in common?

They're all rated as more stable than Iraq by Foreign Policy's Failed States Index. The only country that was worse was Sudan.

Failed states are the foremost global security risk. They are breeding grounds for civil strife, terrorism and extremist ideologies. Iraq was certainly not a great place before we invaded, but it wasn't as bad as it is now.

I'm so glad W decided to start this war to make me safer.
