You could literally drop a bomb were the State Department to issue a travel advisory on Egypt. Egypt lives by tourism so even the hint that the country is not safe would be incredibly damaging and have an effect in Europe as well as the US. You could also do the same for Morocco, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, etc. Don't expect it, however, for nearly a century the State Department has been represented by palace eunuchs who support the Arab cause.

The reason is careerist diplomats who pine for their own ambassadorial posting. They can learn Hebrew and fight for the Israel job, or they can learn Arabic and get a posting in any of two dozen countries. And they know very well that they will be paid richly to be mouthpieces for the Wahhabi scum after their government service is over.
