Japan and Germany were two of the best foreign policy outcomes in the history of humanity. They were defeated decisively but not destroyed and they people were not subjugated for any long period of time (except East Germany). They recovered peacefully and their people are free and prosperous.
It's hard to think about for much time without coming to the conclusion that America did some important things right. But it's really out of fashion to say so nowadays.

We might also ask whether the false flag(??!!) invasion of the Phillipines was entirely justified, and question the policy approaches that lead to the pre war bunker oil blockading of Japan were the best line to take .. but these are matters for history classes at this point in time.
