Remember our discussion ...

... about corrupt governments and poverty? The same is true of terrorism and plain violence. Governments of thieves and nations whose governance has been destroyed by warring factions funded by groups with no good in mind are the prime source of most of today's international crises. This CNS report discusses "kleptocracy"--the rule of thieves. I'm reminded of St. Augustine's remark about human governments always tending to be collections of robbers.
