> I'm interested to know what kind of democracy will emerge

If history teaches us anything, a democracy won't emerge. Nothing good comes from the US intervening in foreign affairs. This is being done to the benefit of the invaders, not those being invaded.

Idk, I sure prefer Germany / Japan circa 2026 to Germany / Japan circa 1936.

The last time the US did something similar was in Panama in 1989, and that country seems to be a thriving democracy now.

Too early to know how this will play out, but things are more nuanced than you're suggesting.

Libya

A key difference is that we didn't act alone in World War II, and we were fighting very legitimate aggression (fascism).
