The question that should be asked (especially in the case of #3) is what's next. As we learned in Iraq, the U.S. military will get the job done with respect to the war itself. However, as we also learned in Iraq, after the war is won, how do we win the peace?

Unfortunately as long as the US is the only one to recognize threats, nothing can be done. We can not secure the entire world, and the UN is not willing to do anything to enforce their own charter. So, we can only do the best we can, and wait for someone other country to see the threat and join in.
