They weren't made to be defended because the US was likely planning to take the fight into the country the moment hostilities started.

But then the US hit first (& I don't know why they thought it would be the other way: for all the anti-American sentiments within the IR, their leadership was never foolish enough to START a war that would justify the US & its allies fucking destroying them), & shit didn't work out that way.
