Tim,

The problem with buying out failed states is that usually they fail because the society is failing. The issue isn't the money or the economy, but social engineering, or lack there of. Offering every member of such a society a pay-off will only create a failed-but-temporarily-cashed-up society :-\

Cheers

A smart investor does not buy a house he does not know how to fix up! Send in the social engineers! This place needs some work! The cash is just a way to bribe them into agreeing to the sale, as is the case in any sale.
