You can squoosh a government but you will never break the will of the people. The US never did understand the culture in the middle east, never attempted to understand it and thought that just walzing in with their idea of "democrazy for all" will solve everything. They have not understood what they are up against just like they were clueless in Vietnam! Killing civilians in the name of democracy only makes enemies not friends... Someone explain that to Dubya!
