And to my surprise, as I looked at some of these issues, one of the best 
national health care systems in the world.

Not that I'm advocating a "the trains ran on time" mentality.  But I've seen

Some of the unhappiness in Iraq is the inevitable result of people trying to 
figure out how to take responsibility for things that have long been dictated 
to them.  How much would be impossible to quantify, I suspect.
