What does it say about Western military power? Because there has been a coalition of America and EU countries trying to defeat them and change the country to our liking.
As Robert Kennedy said about his brother in that famous and eloquent eulogy - "He saw wrong and tried to right it etc etc"

Even if that was a fanatical minority - but it probably isn't - all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't rearrange Humpty's life.
