We acknowledge that they are failures, you seem unwilling to do this.

Part of the problem is the lack of definition of "successful." When I answered Mary's question, I defined it as majority acceptance. I think that the majority of people in those countries think it works well enough. So I called them successful. That definition was the best I could think of.

With that definition, though, the majority of Americans thinks our system works well enough. So it's successful, too.

If folks want to debate success, they'll have to agree on a definition. My impression is that Mary defines "successful" as "universal" and "equal." I wouldn't agree with that. I don't think you would, either.
