Re: ...and Europe needs to get it into their heads - the US IS OUT TO GET WHOMEVER POSES A THREAT TO US SECURITY... PERIOD. Geesh. Let me know if I need to whip out the bullhorn and say it louder for you guys over the Big Drink.

Huh... I'm afraid such a catch-all definition of a "threat to US security" scoops the pool... I mean it somehow demonizes every (semi-)developed country on Earth --that is, in "the reality of a changed geopolitical environment", as you put it... Your "mopping list" might eventually include your current allies, your foul-weather friends, even Israel.... Err.. who's gonna succor the US in its worldwide, holy crusade against terror? Do you have some alien allies we've not heard of yet? Some awesome spaceship looming around the Moon? Has the US entered into a secret Galactic Alliance of sorts?? Oh! Christmas! The penny dropped: that "Star Wars" thing of yore was sort of a crypto-protocol with your alien partners, eh?
