A nice report on the top 20 failed states of recent time. This is a very useful way to visualize international politics and the places around the world that have the highest level of political stress / competition on the country. In a sense, this helps me understand why we are involved with the middle east: because the play a major role in the political instability across the globe. Now why don't we have the same amount at stake in all of central Africa? With Al Queda setting up and generating attacks from place like Yemen, maybe the west's focus will shift / expand.
