"It seems to me that when you have failed states the risks rise dramatically that opportunists will move in to exploit the situation." I could not agree with you more on this. This very threat is a call for noble human beings to stand up to any corrupt person or venture that threatens the autonomy of an individual or the peaceful coexistance of free peoples. "BTW, that is what we have created in Iraq -- at least so far. Agreed. However, no nation has proven itself against all challengers ... so far. "This is the most damning stupidity of the invasion of Iraq - the incompetent creation of a failed state. This is unforgivable." I haven't completely given up on it yet but if civil war is to be, then we may still see multiple nations instead of the one. The country is clearly sectionalized for more than one reason, which makes it hard to believe they will end up with one united government.
