An
international poll found that the United
States is ranked far in the lead as “the

the factors that led to their success or
failure, finally concluding that
unfortunately successes were rare so that
some rethinking of policy is in order. 
Suppose that the article went on to quote

carry out such inquiries in order to find
cases of “financing and supplying arms to an
insurgency in a country that actually worked
out well.  And they couldn’t come up with
