Was WWII a failure in 1944?

It's because today's society demands instant gratification.
At the close of WWII there was no "plan" to get everything running again. The plan was put into place two years later. And we remained in Germany for what - the next fifty years?
We are in Iraq trying to win them over. Let's try being the bad guy here already; The spoils go the victors and all that. And perhaps twenty years from now we'll see some improvement.
