Failed State my ass
2006.05.12
This is old news, but a discussion on TV today got me thinking. So the Fund for Peace spat out a list of failed states and the Foreign Policy magazine published it. Incidentally, Sri Lanka is the 25th on that list.
Some Sri Lankans are offended. Some perverts are delighted. Some, like I, fail to see how one is supposed to attach any significance to this announcement. And personally I don’t think we’re any more failed than some of the supposedly excellent countries.
