The Allied occupation of Japan at the end of World War II was led by Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, with support from the British Commonwealth. Unlike the occupation of Germany, the Soviet Union was allowed little to no influence over Japan. This foreign presence marked the first time in its history that the nation had been occupied by a foreign power.[1] It transformed the country into a democracy"

yes!

[giblets]

if you leave a empty hole for anyone to fill yeah! pulling out if Iraq.

look at japan now. that's how it should have been done. Obama is spinless.

Why are you comparing Iran to Japan of all places? Why is that a better baseline for how invading Iran would play out than Iraq or Afghanistan or any other country in the same region and time period? Was George Bush spineless?

[My Wife Hates CIV]

ugh,,, the US never finished the job. Iraq... anywhere else in after japan really... well almost.

what IF the US after WWII left japan up to china, Russian *drunk) there has to be at least one other party

it would be F* up. even today

now - we have play station.

just think if all those people in iran and nk were free to express and grow - we would have XBOX99999 by now

joking.... only just a little. very little. man that dinner MHLC is making smells good. she brings it right to me! she is good.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

am I wrong people?!? we can let everyone live free - why wait? does NK man boy leader have some special thing about him???????

[My Wife Hates CIV]

or is that, always so many deaths thing, your achilles heel (god I love google spell check)

it's only going to be worse when it happens - what issues work out better when you wait?

How could the US have "finished the job" in Iraq? The US did pretty much the same thing in Iraq as it did in Japan- the US made some of the natives draft a democratic constitution. But Japan and Iraq have totally different cultures. Japan is ethnically homogeneous, religiously tolerant, and Japanese people tend to follow authority and obey rules. Iraq is divided into different ethnic groups and different religious sects that dislike each other and won't be inclined to obey a central government that is perceived as belonging to a different religious denomination or ethnic group. As soon as Saddam's government fell Iraq was overrun by sectarian violence and religious extremists. Iran is somewhere between Iraq and Japan in terms of the level of diversity, so on that front it wouldn't be as bad as Iraq, but Iran is also a lot bigger and more difficult to occupy. In terms of land area Iran is over four times as big as Japan. Japan is the size of Montana while Iran is larger than California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico put together. Good luck pacifying that.

ok, drunk... but your post is noble... you put some thought into it. kudoso,

the US could have kept ALL the troops there for yeats even to come... while 'fixing' Iran and any other country where the supreme leader is threaten by a big mac. and only left when everyhhint was ok... it would have set a presidence too, don't anyone do this unless your ready for loing haul.

in a way the US may be at fault for Russian in Ukraine. but that's a new thread.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

land area means nothing. US sees all... can target all... can hit all.

SA TA HA

aint kown one else can do.

While we're talking about the degradation of American politics (okay, so we swung away from that, but in a move to swing it back):

Donald Trump has been dominating the polls in North Carolina, but his way to the top could be blocked by Deez Nuts.

Yes, you read that right.

According to Public Policy Polling, Donald Trump is leading the field of GOP candidates with 24 percent in North Carolina, outstripping second place candidate, Ben Carson, by 10 points. Carson is trailed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has 10 percent of the respondents’ support. Sen. Ted Cruz of Florida is tied with the new independent candidate Deez Nuts with 9 percent.

Oh, Trump, be not proud. A mystery candidate named after the scrotum can get a third of your approval rating.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

yeah, but with my vote - he just might win.

[Elok]

Who, Deez Nuts? A quick Google says he was submitted to the FEC as a prank by a fifteen-year-old in Iowa, who then asked the pollsters to inquire about him just for a laugh. It apparently is that easy to get competitive in our politics. Don't count on your man Trump over the long haul, man.

Oh, Trump, be not proud. A mystery candidate named after the scrotum can get a third of your approval rating.

A Trump-Inspired Hate Crime in Boston

One of two men who allegedly beat a homeless Hispanic man cited the Republican presidential candidate’s criticism of immigrants as a motivation. Latino leaders aren’t surprised.
The impact of Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant broadsides appears to have veered dangerously far off the presidential campaign trail.

Police in Boston say that one of two brothers who allegedly beat a homeless Hispanic man cited Trump’s message on immigration as a motivation for their attack. “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” Scott Leader, 38, told officers, according to a police report cited by The Boston Globe.

Leader and his brother, Steve, were arrested and charged with multiple assault charges after police said they urinated on and then assaulted a 58-year-old homeless man they found sleeping outside a T-station as they walked home from a Red Sox game. They allegedly beat him with a metal pole, breaking his nose and causing other injuries. According to the Globe, Scott Leader told police it was OK to assault the man because he was Hispanic and homeless. Both men, who have extensive criminal records, pleaded not guilty and said the homeless man started the confrontation.

Officials in Boston immediately denounced the attack. But Trump, who has made no apology for suggesting some Mexican immigrants were “rapists” and calling for their mass deportation, appeared to brush off the incident when he was asked about it while campaigning Wednesday in New Hampshire. “I think that would be a shame,” he said, according to The Boston Herald, in reference to the report. He said he hadn’t heard about the incident but then defended his most ardent supporters as “passionate.”...

I will say, the people that are following me are very passionate. They love this country. They want this country to be great again. But they are very passionate. I will say that.

...and he will make Hillary president.
