Yeah, that's like picking another ride on the islamoterrorist merry-go-round. You'll still go in a circle.

That was not the experience with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan but Americans were more patriotic then and the political and military leadership especially.

The conditions in the 1940s were completely different. There was a declared war. Also, the U.S. firebombed both countries and twice nuked Japan; the Allies held war crime trials for numerous German and Japanese leaders; Germany was divided into pieces controlled by one of the Allies; the U.S. replace the government in Japan with a new government.

We also aimed to annihilate them, not "nation build," like this retardation...
