The nation building after WW2 for Germany & Japan worked out rather well.

Both were by committee and not the US unilaterally, for one.

Well, in Germany we saw what happened when one of the "committee" members decided unilaterally to run East Germany a bit differently. Each of the 4 powers ran their zone as they saw fit.

Besides, what committee ran Japan? McArthur ran it as he saw fit.

The US took exquisite care after WWII, to the point of sharply limiting things like denazification, to preserve civic and administrative infrastructure of the relatively advanced states it occupied to avoid having to nation-build in Germany and Japan.
