There’s been a couple stories of late I’ve been especially enamored of. One is about a report issued by a think tank allied with the Economist contending that Cambodia is the fourth most likely country to face massive “unrest”. The report is so borderline ludicrous, it’s got everyone in a tizzy: the UK is more at risk than Iran, Cambodia’s got Afghanistan beat, etc. After all, it’s hard to imagine a country in the midst of relative peace after decades of popularly-abhorred violence would be on par with, say Sudan. And unless those of us here now are phenomen-
ally blind or in denial or both, I’d venture the EIU’s missing some key factor in their calculations. But for some reason I haven’t been able to get this out of my head since hearing it.
