Foreign Affairs
Sections
Of the Second Order of failed states are nearly every other country in Africa
except South Africa. All the Arab monarchies, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia
and Laos; Bolivia, Columbia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Panama,
Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador; Philippines, Indonesia and Nepal, and all the
new republics from the old Soviet Union.  All of these are basket cases that have
seemingly seen the light.  They are apparently trying hard to move out of their
squalor, but still are blighted by crackpot leaders, corruption, insurrections, one
party states, repression, political imprisonment and killings, and a general
disregard for individual rights.  They have all improved over the past 10 years,
but have a long way to go.  
      They need a sustained and targeted assessment of their problems and a
series of solutions on how to solve them.  Most of all they need a total revamping
of their legal systems and removal of nearly all the current political structure, with
new constitutions and a heavy dose of education in their own languages about
the rights of individuals and the rule of law.
      Of the Third Order are:
      Brazil, the Caribbean Island states, South Africa, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania,
Moldavia, Ukraine, the Baltic States, Slovakia, Croatia, Macedonia, Cypress,
Lebanon, Malaysia, Thailand, Costa Rica, Belize, many of the Pacific Island
states, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Kenya and Tanzania, South Korea, and a few
others.  
      All of these are on the cusp of reasonableness.  They still have problems
accepting diverse ethnic groups. Their legal systems need revamping.  They
need more work in bringing peace and harmony within their borders.
