The problem was that there wasn't the political will to go the distance needed to make an invasion worth the effort. If you occupy a hostile nation like we did, you have to do it with the knowledge that it will be a colony for at least a generation, and have the occupation forces and propaganda prepared for that. You don't try to go strait for the vote, you have to rewrite the textbooks, write them laws and only pretend they have a say in it, and play kingmaker for the local politics. If you don't do that, you are only going to get resentment.
If you aren't willing to do all of that, and I mean all of it, then you should limit yourself to retaliatory strikes and assassinations. Don't put boots on the ground unless you are prepared for the long haul.
