I am afraid I do not find your main thesis persuasive. In regard to the problem at hand, there is no question of waiting until alternative solutions are found: we have to use the means ready to hand to accomplish certain tasks, and sometimes they involve brute force. We had to destroy the Axis; we have to deal with current bank robbers; we have to stop genocide in the Sudan. That does not mean we cannot search for ways that are cleaner, but until then, we have to live in this world.
