The major difference is that the U.S. did not enter into a contract with Japan whereby the U.S. tells Japan "take what you want, kill as many as you want, just do not attack us." Stalin does a deal with the devil, and then should be rewarded when the devil bit his ass?
But I suggest that the price for the Soviets entering WWII should not be the liberty of millions of people, and the consensus here seems to be that those costs are justified. I'd appreciate a response to that query. Certainly, the U.S. did not install puppet governments in France and Italy, and then restrict those people liberties. In Japan, the U.S. only removed the emperor, but the process itself was largely left untouched.
