Japan and Germany were not nation building missions. Those were already deeply established nations. We only shaped their political climate to re-introduce liberal democracy back to both nations. Both Germany and Japan were liberal representative democracies before the Nazis or the rule of the military.
Comparing Iraq to Germany and Japan is just as false as comparing Vietnam to Iraq.

So your argument is that since Iraq has no real experience with democracy (like Imperial Japan or Fascist Germany)we would be better off walking away from the project altogether?
I find this reasoning this hard to understand..

ROFL, Japan never had anything resembling a liberal representative democracy prior to our occupation. Iraq has far more experience in that regard.
