I Think We'll See More State Failures in the Next Few Years

I think we'll see more state failures in the next few years because of the shock that was dealt the global economy last year. The question for me is not, you know what's going to happen in lebanon, it's already happened. It took us intervention to end a very bloody war in the former uguslavia. And we've kind of forgotten that that succeeded. Yes, the place is sir is living in perfect harmony, but there isn't much violence there. It's at least a frozen conflict. But another way of thinking about this is that we're in a period, and it's going to continue, of of a cascade or avalanche of problems.
