This is a new listing released for the year 2007. If you would note most of the top 10 countries are in Africa torn by years of war. Then there are Iraq and Afghanistan where "war on terror" is being waged. Pakistan has jumped 3 points to take a spot in top 10 from last years 12th position of most failed countries. We are dropping down in ratings in all fronts and making a list of failures in the world.
For 2007 it made some sense when there were marches going on for CJ, suicide bombings more frequently, Lal Masjid saga, May 12 mayhem etc. I believe this "ranking" will get better for this year Inshallah.
