Just what the neo-con doctor ordered, at least any with actual intelligence{?}in that cabal of. You see they would have known that when you destroy a country, 'shock and awe!', killing tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, and creating multi millions in refugee's, said country most certainly isn't going to become a valued ally from those days forward! Especially the young who grow up in the destructive long occupation of.
If not the neo-cons knowing then most certainly the defense and especially the nations, and world, security industries. Billions more added in spending to maintain a strong need against criminal terror groups attacks with the growth of the terror organizations and individuals, the creation of a needed enemy for decades of profits from the enhanced fear, worldwide!
