There you go again - putting YOUR SPIN on MY POST, reading all kinds of concocted transgressions (based on your values) into what I wrote even though nothing of the sort was stated or implied. As usual, the entire exercise is woven around your trademark petty ad-hominem cheap shots that were so refreshingly absent from this forum during your most recent banishment to the penalty box. Fortunately no one else that participates here makes these kinds of posts, and for good reason - they have a basic understanding of civility and decorum that you obviously lack, as evidenced by your back-to-back suspensions. I confess to being mystified as to why the last one wasn't permanent, unless there are those who find some Jerry Springer-like entertainment value in your crass, juvenile outbursts that always seem to drift away from the subject of the thread and into the area of personal insults.
One final point: if anyone wants to do an in-depth analysis of all sixty failed nation states and post their findings, be my guest. This would be good subject matter for a doctoral thesis, and doing a thorough job would easily take months. For obvious reasons, most everyone in this thread was concentrating on the worst examples of failed states rather than trying to include the not-so-failed states that begin to appear beyond the top 10-15. It so happens that among the worst, most of them have a majority Muslim population and most are in Africa. Maybe in the coming years this will change, but these two facts apply to the 2010 data that was being discussed; I pointed these out without editorial comment since I felt confident that would be supplied by someone else.
