What's the position of India?

[Comrade Awesome]

128 India 2.516

New Zealand's first, not too suprising. Although we have a few troops in Afghanistan.

[Q]

I wonder why the Netherlands score ten places lower than Belgium where the latter has a bigger fascist scene and there is of course the big media attention on the nation "breaking up" and whatnot.

[ContrarianLemming]

Peaceful nation states are not peaceful due to virtue, but rather, weakness.

Less international trafficking in women, maybe?

Canada is peaceful despite war and occupation?

[RedStarOverChina]

This list is pretty meaningless IMO.

The US should be rock bottom, since its primarily responsible for the violence in Iraq.

[Spawn of Stalin]

Does someone want to tell me how the UK is MORE peaceful thank China, Cuba and Vietnam???

[it_ain't_me]

reminds me of a related list i saw on the 'ten worst countries for women'. needless to say, Iran wasn't on it. needless to say, occupied Iraq and Afghanistan both were. i can't post links but you can easily find the list by googling the phrase 'In spite of real progress around the globe, the bedrock problems that have dogged women for centuries remain'.

[this is an invasion]

It seems like most people are missing the point of this study. It's rating the violence within a particular geographical/political region. Not the causes of the violence. So, because there is a war going on IN Iraq, it is more violent than the US, cause, guess what? There's not a war going on within the US.

[Obs]

This list is pretty meaningless IMO.
This, pretty much. A lot of it seems to be picked out completely arbitrarily.
