Actually, most people comprehend the main criteria. First, those who view the United States as a principal foe, and might very well carry the fight to us. This excludes Basque terrorists, for example, but includes most Muslim terrorist networks. Second, those states that will not cooperate with efforts to root out terrorism within their borders. Thus, Italy is not an enemy, since it has done a good job of foiling terrorist cells, but Afghanistan under the Taliban was an enemy, as it provided safe haven for Al- Qaida. Third, specific states that have become notorious for sponsoring terror or helping to proliferate weapons of mass destruction, primarily Iraq, Iran, and North Korea, unless they change their ways. I do not know where you were, but anyone following these matter in the last couple of decades is not surprised that we have reached this point. It has been generally known for quite awhile that the next big threats were Muslim extremism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Even the designation of Iran, Iraq, and North Korea as central players has been known for years.
