also the first thing we did in iraq after overthrowing the government was to totally dismantle and privatize any civil services rather than try to use them to restore the country to any kind of functioning order because the people in charge of rebuilding were free market ideologues

the economic embargo killed more iraqis than the actual war

Researcher Richard Garfield estimated that "a minimum of 100,000 and a more likely estimate of 227,000 excess deaths among young children from August 1991 through March 1998" from all causes including sanctions.

How did the U.S. do so well in Japan with setting up a new government and yet so bad in Iraq? Does the U.S. need to drop some MOABs on a few highly populated cities to crush the will of the terrorist?

well probably an important factor is that the US did not militarily pull out of japan and leave it in the hands of chaos

Also Japan and Germany were much more homogenous cultures without major ethnic or religious fault lines like in Iraq.

Iraq was a classic case of what could go wrong when you destroy a central government and also have millions of weapons floating around in a country which has lots of tribalism.

This is pretty much the way it goes with the US as a colonial power. We should stick to dominating countries culturally. The UK colonized entire continents, the US mostly has military bases everywhere. We're actually pretty lovely at conquering countries, nobody in the US is seeking a challenging frontier trying to white-up neighborhoods in the Philippines. Our actual colonies mostly suck, besides maybe Hawaii. Nations that we conquer always do better if we rebuild them and give them back their sovereignty and apologize.

We got a bunch of oil rich middle easterners to declare war on themselves and now its a contentious group of incompatible religious fanatics and tribes that will devolve into genocidal civil war the moment their western occupiers leave, though not as often as the UK used to.

Japan was already a stable, centralized, mostly industrialized country in 1945, Iraq was literally just some lines drawn on a map and tribal goat herders till the 1960s, and even today the place is a trainwreck with regard to ethnic conflict

there's also the thing where they paraded the emperor aka the closest living thing to a god to japs at the time around and made him calm their asses down, this is slightly more difficult with this kind of elusive allah guy

the emperor worship thing was more of a way for businessmen and generals to appear semi-legitimate while they ran the country as a dictatorship, by claiming that everything they were doing was approved by the god-king when in reality the emperor was pretty much a frail, overeducated nerd that could be easily bullied

The IS does not want Iraq to be successful and functional. That was the whole point of invading them all these times.
