War on Qatar, Iran, and Syria seems counter to your general gist and I'm pretty sure we are full court pressing for all possible restraint on expanding but suspect almost as strongly that all options remain on the table.
Despite our instant gratification mentality, it is probably quite early in this one.
The capacity to execute further attacks must be destroyed while degrading and systemically deconstructing the support chain that fosters it and would engender future such capability with a new label slapped on.
It isn't an either/or proposition.
Both are mandatory as is whatever accountability, reform, and serious and honest investigations into the security failures and any possible otherwise propping up of Hamas for political purposes.
