Well, won't get much argument from me on those point, particularly that water fiasco. Although I would say that not every fault you cite is specific to NZ. I live in California now, and we have more than our share of blackouts and screwups. Before that lived in North Carolina - which was also bemoaning the exodus of its best and brightest (at the time, anyway). NZ hardly has a monopoly on this kind of stuff. As to strengths, I was referring more to NZ's economic policy and openness. In this regard, they've done what they need to do to survive with lots of bigger sharks.
