It looks like you think USA is the moral force of God on earth. United States held power over west Germany and Japan, and they actually received boosts from the Marshall plan after WW2 to keep the American economy in overdrive.
All of the eastern bloc including N Korea and Cuba were subject to severe economic blockades and sanctions. Cuba performed the best and N Korea the worst. Even here, NK outperformed South Korea until 1980. Why didn't the greatness the "free world and human rights" work until 1980?
Please stop with this childish pretence of USA as the 2nd coming of Jesus and "leader of the free world". At least Iran's example should give you pause. Iran is part of the free world as long as there is a dictatorship, it is no longer part of the free world if there are democratic elections. The same goes for Chile, Haiti, Guatemala, Egypt - you name it!
