And the Bill of Rights, with one exception, is a list of the rights of individuals against the state, not a list of claims by individuals on services to be provided by the state.

Former CIA Director George Tenet has stated that Hezbollah is an organization with capability and worldwide presence equal to or more capable than al Qaeda "in a state sponsored category with a potential for lethality that’s quite great."
However, the European Union has yet to add the group to its list of terrorist organizations, though it has listed Imad Fayiz Mughniyah, a key operations and intelligence officer of Hezbollah.

 Kurds launch hunger strike against EU terrorism list   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The move on 3 May, which lined the EU up squarely with Turkey, has rightly angered Kurdish people throughout Europe since there has existed not the slightest hint of a threat from the Kurds for many years in either Germany, Turkey, or anywhere in Europe.
This provocative EU ban could not have been more badly timed; the PKK renounced guerrilla activities years ago and as of April has even formally wound up its organisation.
The EU seems to be totally accepting Turkey¹s agenda that the main issue is one of ‘terrorism’, when the reality is quite different: 4,500 Kurdish villages destroyed, almost three million people driven from their homes, the use of arms exports from Europe against Kurdish civilians, torture and state cover-ups of extra-judicial murders.
