Somehow we managed to defeat Germany and Japan and turn the Germans and the Japanese into civilized, decent human beings.

The major difference being that the Germans and Japanese were living in the 20th century. Not the 7th or 8th. The Nazis were what they were in spite of Germans being Christians. In Japan the God-Emperor helped a lot withe the "pacification". If he had not, things could have been very ugly for a very long time.

And I think tat before this is over, the same techniques will be required. Don't forget that when that metaphorical "red button" was pressed, it was by a Democrat. In time of war, we do what we have to.
