  Aren't we a year out from an insurrection attempt from inside it's own government? Surely you'd have to build your own nation before even trying to make a claim to be good at building anyone else's?
  Is a country younger than some pubs in the UK really what we'd use to determine nation building? Almost every other nation is older and far more established than it.
context: It seems you are trying to claim that the success of japan and germany are the merit of US but the failures are someone else's fault.
  I see it exactly as the other way around, the failures are the  orm and the successes the exception due to the character of the peolle pushing back on imperialism.
