I haven't spent enough time in Scandinavia to have a deep understanding of any of the countries. Places always have problems and troubles and complexities that aren't immediately apparent to people who just visit for a few days. But it'll certainly be good to have someone out there actually pointing out that maybe some
other places do it right. As with everything else in our political discourse, it's ok to praise other countries in order to justify conservative goals. You know, we need charter schools so our kids test as well as Korean kids!!! or whoever we're supposed to be "losing" to this week.
