All 3 points were fairly evident after the Afghan effort. My opinion : the author is a bit late in pointing out the obvious. These opinions also imply, that the US is the best at war, but offers no evidence on creating sustainable peace. IMHO, the Brits are pretty good at that.

The war has most dramatically conveyed the following realities:

1.) The U.S. is a very powerful country.

2.) It is ill-advised to arouse this nation by attacking or repeatedly provoking it--or by providing support to terrorism; and

3.) Regularly to do so means a price will likely be paid. Far less credence will now be placed in the preachments of Osama bin Laden regarding America's weakness, its unwillingness to accept burdens, and the ease of damaging its vulnerable economy, etc.
