I will suggest that given the historical data of "the US invaded many other countries, and it generally turned out to be a really bad idea," the correct conclusion is not "so let's go ahead and invade a few more countries," particularly when there is plenty of specific reason here to believe such action would make things worse not better.

One of Liberia's biggest newspapers recently ran an editorial claiming the Ebola epidemic was deliberately created by the US government. If that's the sort of paranoia that exists now, what do you think it's going to be like if thousands of Americans with filter masks and machine guns start flooding into the country? In addition to all the usual bad results, you're going to get a lot of people hiding and running - carrying the virus with them.
