Sometimes yes, sometimes no. As I think you know, I've written on how the Libya war has done just that for several states.

Somalia (state fell prior to Restore Hope), Nigeria (didn't cause Borno collapse), Bangladesh (threatened, not collapsed)...

Egypt (US didn't cause Sinai collapse), Pakistan (not overarching cause), Tunisia (Libya war doesn't help though), Yemen.

Won't grant you Yemen, either. Egypt I don't consider collapsed. I think the truly failed states US has a big role in.

I'm not saying Egypt is collapsed--earlier metric I used is "collapsed or threatened." I place Egypt in the threatened category.

OK. But even there, US non-regime change actions important. Neoliberalism not a good way to stabilize weak states.
