Easy Cowboy:
Stalin after WWII. For sure we should have said pull the Red Army out of every other country save Russia. If not, we drop A-bombs whereever we think Stalin is. We keep dropping until the Red Army pulls out.
Option 2 - Stalin Step down or we will keep dropping bombs if we hit you. It he doesn't step down, then it may or may not be a good idea to follow through with our threat.
Stalin was originally Hitlers ally at the beginning of the war, and the Soviet Union had a history of aggression very similar to Japans.
I think Stalin's government was just as bad, and as dangerous as the Japanese government, and posed an even greater threat to world security.
I don't see any problem if we had treated the two governments just the same.
As for Iraq I agree with Bilmore's analysis.
