Naturally I imagine there were some others which did not work out as well, like the canal system and the Viet Nam war.

Are those like IN THE WAY BACK PAST events? Past great performance only goes so far. Last century's wonder doesn't mean squat today. The question is "What have you done for me LATELY?". I am not interested in "has been" items. Sure, past greatness might buy you a little leeway but recent poor performance is a major issue.
