A MAP OF FREDO'S FAILURE

I got this from Today in Iraq, an excellent site for news, analysis and commentary.

Originally from the BBC Posted by Picasa


Here's what the ratings mean:

Stable: Fully-functioning government; strong economic development; local security forces maintain rule of law

Moderate: Government functions, but with some concerns; economy developing slowly, with unemployment problems; security under control but with potential for instability

Serious: Government not fully formed; economy stagnant; unemployment high; routine anti-Iraq forces activity, assassinations and extremism

Critical: Government not functioning or only single strong leader; no infrastructure for economy to develop; high levels of anti-Iraq forces activity, assassinations and extremism

Assessment made in January 2006. Sectarian violence in Iraq has surged since February.
