Dear Carey Winslowe,
I am taking this opportunity to correct your statement on Timor as a Failed State. Your observation is wrong and unjustified.
The definition of a Failed State is when the state (is) said to "succeed" if it maintains a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force within its borders. When this is broken (e.g., through the dominant presence of warlords, militias, or terrorism), the very existence of the state becomes dubious, and the state becomes a failed state.(wikipedia.org ). Now, states such as CONGO, SOMALIA, Sudan DAFFUR, or perhaps IRAQ, could be co-notated to those ‘elements’– In my TIMOR LESTE we still have the rule of LAW, surely we had a shaking start, and indeed the United Nations did underestimate the complexity of EAST Timor’s POLITICAL CULTURE, other them that, my EAST TIMOR is NOT qualified as a FAILED STATE. We the Timorese won’t let that happen!
In regards to the UNITED NATIONS, the UN should be this respected and glorified Institution. It is the only NON STATE Actor that stands for the RIGHTS of whole ‘mankind per se’ as we know it, without any partisanship. The United Nations Would function on its FULL CAPACITY if states like the USA and some other states from the European Union would LET the UN operate freely! In addition, states such USA should pay off ‘their dues.’ Did you know that the annual budget of New York City Council is BIGGER then the whole United Nations budget?
Indeed dear Carey, these examples are something to ponder about Failed States and the United Nation’s ability to act.
Cheers

I've been to East Timor - it should be a Failed State. There is nothing worth fighting for. Good one - once again someone came up with a solution to solve the world's problems - the US should buy the world out of their problems. They are rich - they should pay for it. I have a better idea - How bought you get a job and pay for it yourself! Hats off to the Aussies for keeping that turd a float.

If East Timor is becoming a failed state it is because most of UN workers here are coming from East Europe and African countries. As we all know, those countries are still plagued by poverty and endless civil war. How can they help East Timorese whereas in fact they are supposed to be helped.
