Comments:
Notice the number of bottom rankings relative to top rankings: 45 - 19. Remove the four "terrorism" points from the top rankings, and the picture will look even worse! But take into consideration that some bottom rankings are actually good (like HIV deaths)
Also notice how many bottom spots Lebanon enjoys in the agriculture and economics categories. I believe it is 10 and 11 respectively.

it would be interesting to know how they get their numbers , as Lebanon suffers greatly from the lack of reliable data collection in many fields.
their numbers are mostly from the CIA world factbook.
