This is such a sham list, so just about the whole African continent is a failure!! Yeah right, I would have believed it had they included Mexico in their list, in Mexico the drug cartel has left citizens living in fear. There are almost daily beheadings and bodies left hanging off bridges, if thats not a failed state I dont know! Mexico is too close to the US and the last thing they would want is for the US to be viewed in bad light, only African countries should be viewed in bad light!
