The US is currently threatening to bomb Iran on the
basis that it represents a threat. It makes that claim
on the basis that Iran is doing some of the things
(although on no comparable scale) that the US has been
doing for decades. So it strikes me as perfectly
reasonable, in the context of a discussion regarding
the supposed threat of Iran, to make a reference to
the much greater (at least on the technological level)
US threat. Of course, if you are asking for some
special indulgence here, we could refrain from
mentioning that.

O.K.
