For example: Japan and Germany in 1945.

I just doubt if it is worth it. The Arab culture is impervious to democratic concepts. All of Arab history has been filled with exactly two kinds of government: Chaos and Tyranny. I don't believe that anything can change their culture other than total devastation.

Again, I doubt if it is worth it.
