Everyone remembers the bad ones only.
What about Germany and Japan after WWII? What about South Korea?
Korea is still a split country.
I guess I have to give you Japan, although now you could say "clearly the solution is nukes" if you're just going blindly on data.
Even if you think it's going to go well this time, you have to admit this sort of thing does not have a good track record.
I'm wondering why you don't think they count.
It only gave a damn from Japan to retaliate against it... And let's not pretend it became all sunshine and rainbows for Japan post WW2. Internment camps. No standing military. Huge cultural disruption.
SK who remembers the war doesn't have the best opinion of the US either. They essentially pulled out and did a half assed job. Who's even to say that a communist Korea wouldn't have been the best long term plan? It might have destabilized faster than what we know today as North Korea.
