The Middle East is a messy place for cartographers, this its been invaded, health care traded and mutilated over the years which makes any country schizophrenic in explaining its heritage.

Jesse Reklaw draws your dreams at Slow Wave. I think this is the coolest visual way to convey your dreams to other people as weird and scary they might be.

Foreign Policy has released a new index of Failed States. It list countries that have internal and external struggles that are causing trouble to the government and failing as a provider for their people.

They use 12 social and economic, generic
political and military indicators to bring this list of 60 countries.

Arab Countries on the list:
4) Iraq
28) Syria
36) Lebanon
38) Egypt
45) Saudi Arabia
51) Bahrain

I am really suprised that Bahrain on the list, story
but according to them they have high marks in the Uneven Development, Delegitimization of State, and Security Apparatus.

I would really like to see a complete list and see where Kuwait is on the list.
