Life is so hard right now. War continues in the Middle East, genocide and famine continue in Africa and the West is in the grip of a slow recession that just won’t quit. In spite of the fact that the world has always been fairly out of order, it wasn’t supposed to be this bad, was it? It was supposed to be that when we grew up and ran the world, things would be different. Unfortunately, they’re more samey than ever. Who is responsible? I don’t know, but here are some countries I hope do better in 2010.
