¶ … Anarchy implies the absence of any government and by extension, of a rule of law. In a state of anarchy, no one has officially sanctioned or recognized power. Power may be assumed by a militarily strong group of people, however.

In a failing state such as Iraq, anarchy could easily become a reality.
Our daily lives would be changed considerably if we were to live in a failed state or anarchy as opposed to a democracy.

Man, the State, and War: a theoretical analysis Thoughtfully addressing the question as to why mankind enters war, international relations scholar, Dr. Kenneth Neal Waltz, surveys classical and contemporary theories of the behavior of man found in the cross-discipline literature of Western civilization.

Mexico: Terrorism and Organized Crime The convergence in numerous means of organized criminal activities that include terrorism and drug trafficking is a developing concern in the United States and the entire world. Some professionals in this filed imply that the increasing number of cases of terrorism and organized crime groups are jointly coordinated and the trend is increasingly developing into a worldwide phenomenon (Rollins 2).

S.S.R. stands the fact that civil strife is less dangerous if it takes place on the losing side that it is on the winning side (p99).
