ECONOMIC IMPACT – 25% REDUCTION IN VIOLENCE WOULD DELIVER $2 TRILLION
If the world had been 25% more peaceful over the past year the global economy would have reaped an additional economic benefit of just over US$2 trillion. This amount would pay for the 2% of global GDP per annum investment estimated by the Stern Review to avoid the worst effects of climate change, cover the cost of achieving the Millennium Development Goals, eliminate the public debt of Greece, Portugal and Ireland, and address the one-off rebuilding costs of the most expensive natural disaster in history – the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

 

best part is, whether friends or foes of USA, all are in the worst 10 countries.. Israel (friend) at 145, Pakistan (friend) at 146, Russia (foe) at 147, Afghanistan at 150, Iraq at 152.. Btw, USA is standing at 82. moral of the story is if you want your country or people to be at peace, stay away from USA ??? :)
