I've Been Thinking:

Every year the United States comes up with new a threat assessment.
This year, Hezbollah is named as one of the most significant threats.
Why? Because of the 34 day war between Hezbollah and Israel.

The United States now sees Hezbollah as a serious threat against US targets.
John Negroponte, Director of National Intelligence, said: "As a result of last summer's hostilities, Hezbollah's self-confidence and hostility toward the US as a supporter of Israel [this] could cause the group to increase its contingency planning against US interests.''

Safety in this world is just like the 10- step process in Alcoholics Anonymous. Recognition is the first step towards solving the problem.
The United States has taken that first step.
We are a target. Now we have to defend ourselves.
