With that, Germany had had enough. In Bonn, the government declared that it was its "duty to publicize Scientology's practices and protect citizens from them." There were prolonged meetings at the chancellery, with much dark talk of slashing back at the U.S., reportedly by urging it to abolish capital punishment and do more to combat racism...
...with U.S. officials on the issue late last year, the Americans argued that if there is evidence of illegality, the Scientologists should be prosecuted under existing laws. The Germans replied that, well, there wasn't enough evidence for a trial, but even so, their government "has a responsibility to protect its citizens."

The Palestine Liberation Organization had a ministate in Lebanon in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This situation led to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 in an attempt to protect the Galilee region of Israel from terrorist attacks. While Hizbullah and other Lebanese militias are in no way capable of destroying Israel, they nevertheless present a security threat to Israel proper that cannot be ignored...
