People tend to make the United States Superman. They think the United States is all-powerful, the bastion of freedom, democracy, strength.
They thought that the United States would come in and with superhuman power overnight transform Baghdad into New York and Mosul into San Francisco.
It is traumatic to realize that America is not God and is very, very human.
