Islamorepublic of France or Military Government of the United States
The growing possibility that we will have one or the other has got me thinking, how can we measure how likely each is? Presumably one would know when we saw it, for example Tommy Franks driving his tank towards the White House, or Abu Hamza opening a bottle of Claret with his bad arm. But by then it would be too late. What we need is some objective measure of how each country is doing, and for comparison perhaps a single unit of measurement. If any readers can suggest one I already have a name for it, 'A Den Beste', e.g. "I think the decision to ban the baguette is at least 4 Den Bestes, whereas Norman Schwarzkopf's storming of the Texas Senate is only 3 DBs.
