It worked for Japan -- well, in the short run. Hell, they may still recover their economy -- with enough U.S. backing. ...Again.
It worked with the Philippines -- well, a somewhat harsher form of democracy that enjoys mass execution for convicted criminals, but a democracy none the less.
We even showed the U.K. the brighter side of supporting elected officials -- which took the job and responsibility of running a country away from the oh-so-busy royal family, leaving them with plenty of free time to go about mucking up their nation's reputation.
It worked with the cuckoo clock capital of the world, Germany, leaving every man there free to piss in the ally of his choice -- generally the one beside the bar.
It worked in South Korea, where families of 10 have absolutely no problem setting up cardboard houses that are taped to the walls and fences around U.S. military posts.
Don't sell us short. We can do it in Afghanistan too,
