Our assuming a right to be first among equals in international relations is going to earn us serious repercussions. Americans yet unborn are going to pay a terrible price if we don't stop this kind of arrogant behavior toward other countries. We are not "exceptional" and above the laws which govern all nations. Claiming a unilateral right to do what we want because of "National Security" or because we're "Fighting Terrorism" doesn't make this kind of action legal either, at least not in the eyes of the rest of the World.
