That's why I allowed for real or perceived, everyone has varying view points, each may contain valid points in the debate.

There is always open the prospect(s) that some countries are not a threat because they have not been allowed to. You also have to remember that in some instances a threat does not have to come directly from a source, sometimes a threat comes via those who one chooses to align themselves with. I would say a comparison would be if you had/have children and you see them hanging out with the wrong kid(s). You know you are going to do everything within your power to redirect the situation.
