We never actually fought any of those countries in head-on military conflict. Germany and Japan, on the other hand, are liberal democracies with strong market economies specifically because we crushed them in WWII and then spent decades and billions upon billions of dollars helping them rebuild and change their governments. That is what we are trying to do in Iraq. Regardless of what Bush said back on the campaign trail in 2000, we are in the nation-building business in Iraq. Time to get the job done.
