The US treated both Germany and Japan well. It did not and has not treated any other nation whose government it's meddled with well. That's my point.

Edit Actually we probably could throw in South Korea into the nations the US has treated well after meddling.

Spain, France, the entire iron curtain following 1992 dissolution of USSR, Taiwan, Phillipines, Costa Rica, Panama ... and speaking of central America, Venezuela isn't doing so bad either. Perhaps more expansive lists could be produced once the definitions of "meddled with" and "treated well" are more refined.
