Oak Ridge reflects the learning curve involved in being the first, and "cutting teeth" on what and how to make an atomic bomb.
As the process became more developed and refined, those who 'stole' the final plans were able to produce with less R&D (Done by the USA already), learning curve done...
I'll disagree on that.
I find this Wiki to be closer to the truth ...

Zion (Hebrew: צִיּוֹן, romanized: Ṣiyyôn; Biblical Greek: Σιών) is a placename in the Tanakh, often used as a synonym for Jerusalem as well as for the Land of Israel as a whole.
The name is found in 2 Samuel (2 Sam 5:7)...
I don't think our nation started out that way, but it has evolved into such.
I see it as entropy of sorts since most all governments, no matter the form/type, seem to devolve into tools for an elite minority to rule, use, and abuse the majority.
BTW folks, I'm not saying there is "No Solution".
Just that such is not quick and easy if we want Iran left in better condition and with a more positive future. Such a solution requires cleansing out of the theocracy, and removal of its minions. Followed by hard and dedicated work by those...

NOPE !
We are talking opposite of each other. I'm talking about apples, you are about bananas.
First point of divergence is how to define "competent" and the Right side of the political spectrum will define such often as different and/or opposite of the Left side's definition. From there we...
Your subjective and inaccurate assessment.
I was asking about government types, NOT programs.
I was not limiting the government types to just the USA, but all such through history, the past @ 6,000 years.
Successful programs are not the same as successful government types.
As a historian and after 75+ years experience in this lifetime, I'm convinced the representative democracy provided by the Constitution is the most successful government type to date.
Key is the quality of the citizens who...
Any actual examples of your delusional ideology from history that actually worked, Komrade ???
