You can also censor the media so the people back home never see what's really going on.
The USA is now in a very bad position. We're strapped for cash and basically can't continue paying our bills without borrowing at least 20% of our income and most of that is going to pay the interest on money that we've already borrowed.
Most of the world hates us because we took over Iraq for oil and have been torturing them.
Iran may be posing a serious threat and we don't have the money and it may be difficult to get the support to actually stop them. If we do go in it will be under funded and end up creating even more hatred towards the USA.
Breeding generations of hatred is what causes terrorism but for some reason we think it's fighting it.
