Far from the most important item on your list, but still an important one i think.  Europe and the Asian rim need to step up to do this themselves -- especially Europe.  There has grown too large an assumption that Uncle Sugar will be ther to do it -- at least most of it -- for them.  That needs to change in any case, though your scenario is not the way it should have to be addressed.
