We create most corrupt nations on earth by bombing them

to occupy Somalia in the 1990s.
And there is a good reason why they became corrupt.
"When essential institutions are weak or non-existent, corruption
spirals out of control", according to Transparency International.
We were told that we had to invade Iraq because Saddam was in charge.
For the head of one person, a whole country had to be plunged into
chaos, with countless human lives lost? Nay! It was only a pretext,
an easy lie spoken by our leaders.
The same thing happened in Afghanistan.
And our leaders are still determined to keep sacrificing our soldiers
and spending hundreds of billions more yearly to keep Afghanistan and
Iraq ruined and occupied. Our leaders are committed to let even more
innocent blood flow and more chaos reign in order to keep them under
our control. These are countries so far removed from our own and
therefore so insignificant in terms of our domestic security needs.

War-torn nations remain the world's most corrupt, Transparency
International (TI) has said.
Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia are the lowest-ranked countries in TI's
annual global survey. They were all at the bottom of the list last
year as well.
"When essential institutions are weak or non-existent, corruption
spirals out of control," TI said.
New Zealand was the least corrupt, with last year's winner Denmark as
runner-up and Singapore third.

Actually, TI does not monitor corruption. It monitors the perception
of corruption. While it is reasonable to say that war torn nations
are
more corrupted, TI report and its index does not add anything through
empirical studies. TI may as well make the same statement correlating
weak essential institutions to corruption and conclude that Iraq and
Afghanistan are the most corrupted nations.
