One of my students sent me the above screenshot from the “Foreign Policy failed states page”:http://www.foreignpolicy.com/failedstates. It’s still up at the time of writing, accompanied by the headline “Postcards from Hell” (never thought about Paris in this way) and a frightening image of an insurgent on a misty mountaintop. I am just wondering “what Belgium has to do to make the cut”:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11568174.
