Apparently, two of the countries that we are occupying, namely Iraq and Afghanistan, have ranked in the Top Ten of Failed States in the world. The article notes that pouring funds into such countries is worthless as they are not stable in terms of government and leadership. Iraq currently ranks at number 2 while Afganistan is at number 8.
And our government and president continue to believe that there is hope for this country as long as we keep sending troops and funds over yonder. A brilliant, brilliant deduction from our Bu$hleaguer in office.
