I do not have anything to add and have little to comment on with this article.  Is speaks what I believe.  It touches on may of the topics of blogged about.  It is refreshing to read an article that bluntly states the facts and considers all factors; the blame game, politics, reform programs, inappropriate spending, and comparison across countries.
