I heard it was like Ghana or something like that. The UN does their rankings every year and I think that was it last I heard. Of course Iraq is pretty terrible right now too, and we don't know a lot about N. Korea...

It's hard to pick one. Most African countries are terrible, as well as plenty of Asian ones. The Middle East isn't exactly a gem either.

A lot of african countries and probably NK after seeing that video. Some parts of NK look pretty well off though but you gotta be real lucky.

Judging from some of the opinions over in P&N I am surprised that someone hasn't said the US yet.......:)

I was surprised too, actually. It'd be stupid to say, but there's one in every crowd...and when we have as big a crowd as ATOT, there are a LOT.

its amazing how skewed the typical american view of africa is. i have only been to kenya so i can not speak for other nations but most african nations are not nearly as bad as iraq or north korea.

Yes, even it is still a poor country by Western standards and has plenty of problems, Cambodia is no longer a "Killing Field" as we saw in the movie.

Kind of a vague question... It depends on the person. For example. A jew living in Iran would probably not think the same way as a muslim living in Iran. There are too many factors to consider: race, religion, social status etc. As for a general answer, you can't assume a country is bad just by watching news/videos/propoganda, unless you've actually visited there and witnessed what life was really like there your opinions mean nothing.
