Rogue state is a controversial term applied by some international theorists to states they consider threatening to the world's peace. This means meeting certain criteria, such as being ruled by authoritarian regimes that severely restrict human rights, sponsor terrorism, and seek to proliferate weapons of mass destruction. The term is used most by the United States, though it has been applied by other countries.
Rogue states can also be differentiated from 'pariah states' such as Burma (Myanmar) and Zimbabwe who allegedly abuse the human rights of their populations while not being considered a tangible threat beyond their own borders, although the terms have been used interchangeably.
A common presumption applied to rogue states is that they do not necessarily behave rationally or in their own best interests. In political theory it is generally believed that a stable nation, ruled by a leadership that is subject to broad scrutiny (though not necessarily democratic scrutiny), will tend to act in its own best interests and will not take actions that are directly contrary to its own interests, particularly not to its own survival. Rogue states, however, may not be subject to this assumption and, as such, relations with them may be more complicated and unpredictable.
With the paupers straight in line
You enter the holy land
One nation under god
And under god's command
When your people die
They are dyind for the sake of man
The truth will not be known
'Cause lying is all you can
Hello, hello is anybody out there?
Who sees the end of a nation
Hello, hello is anybody out there?
Who sees them live in the hell of their own creation
We're to watch the greatest show
The world will ever see
With a final push to force
A divine victory
Send your best men out in their finest hour
Don't tell them they're not gona live another hour
You're still made to to believe
You have democrasy
With a sense of reason long lost
