The world's most Failed States. " Somalia" Powered by GoodWidgets.com For the last half-decade, the Fund for Peace, working with Foreign Policy, has been putting together the Failed States Index , using a battery of indicators to determine how stable -- or unstable -- a country is. But as the photos demonstrate, sometimes the best test is the simplest: You'll only know a failed state when you see it. 1. SOMALIA FSI score: 114.3 (out of 120) Somalia has topped the Failed States Index for the last three years -- a testament to the depth of the country's long-running political and humanitarian disaster and, as James Traub writes , to the international community's inability to find an answer. After two decades of chaos , the country is mainly under the control of Islamist militant groups, the most notorious and powerful of which is al-Shabab. A second faction, Hizbul Islam, rivals the former in brutality -- it recently executed two Somalis for the crime o...

Yesterday six million of Jewish, Tomorrow ... millions of Muslims were.

Vilifying Islam and its people, demonizing it to justify genocide.

( The Göktürk Empire in 600 )  The name Turk (Chinese: 突厥, pinyin: tū jué; Jyutping: duk kyu) was first applied to a clan of tribal chieftains (known as Ashina ) who overthrew the ruling Rouran confederacy and founded the nomadic Göktürk Empire ("Celestial Turks").  These nomads roamed in the Altai Mountains (and thus are known as Altaic peoples) in northern Mongolia and on the steppes of Central Asia. The Göktürks were ruled by Khans, whose influences extended during the sixth to eighth centuries from the Aral Sea to the Hindu Kush in the land bridge known as Transoxania. In the eighth century, some Turkic tribes, among them the Oghuz, moved south of the Oxus River, while others migrated west to the northern shore of the Black Sea.   Türk spread as a political designation during the period of Göktürk imperial hegemony to their subject Turkic and non-Turkic peoples. Subsequently, it was adopted as a generic ethnonym designating most, if not all, of the Turkic-speaki...

“In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, and the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not forget that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind, and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The desired world can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.” Ayn Ran As a reminder, Memorial Day evolved from Decoration Day, started in 1868 as a day to decorate the graves of those who died in America's Civil War.

Love hurt three times. Once when you are cut. Once when you marry.  Once when you give birth African Proverb. "Desert Flower"  Below is an eyewitness account of what is done to all Somali girls because men still refuse marriage with an uninfibulated , or " open ," bride.

What is a Superpower? Alice Lyman Miller (Professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School) defines a superpower as: "a country that has the capacity to project dominating power and influence anywhere in the world, and sometimes, in more than one region of the globe at a time, and so may plausibly attain the status of global hegemon." The superpower was first applied in 1944 to the United States, the Soviet Union, and the British Empire.  After WWII, the United States stayed the only country with its industrial infrastructures intact and the atomic bomb. President Truman said: "the only thing new in the world is the history you don't know." The United States has influenced and intervened in other governments unprecedentedly throughout history. The 1947 National Security Act fundamentally changed and reorganized The United States Military establishment, The National Security Council; it was also used as a pretext for Extra-Const...
