Those are really good points also, and correspond exactly with what my Parisian ex-Soviet bloc country expatriates told me it was like living under those regimes (Roumania and Bulgaria are two I'm familiar with.) It becomes a very real part of the ambient culture, and we know how hard culture shock is to deal with and how resilient cultures are to change.

The complaints about post-war Iraq also reflect a back-handed compliment to the supposedly miraculous American powers of civil engineering. If Iran had beaten the Iraqi army and destroyed the Iraqi regime, would anybody be expected the occupation government to be up and running smoothly a month later, with all services restored?
