Paul, to answer some of your questions;
The U.S. and allies do it because they believe it is needed and they have the military muscle to do it.
It came as such a shock because except for the war of 1812 and a few Japanese subs and balloons and maybe a German sub or two no one had ever taken the fight to America and part of the cultural Myth was that they were invulnerable in the homeland.
