If Americans would like to extend a "thank you" to Israel, this would be a good time to do so...
Reader comment on item: Court Finds Iran Aided 9/11 Attacks

"Until Osama bin Laden's attacks of September 11, 2001, [Imad] Mugniyah held the terorirst record for killing Americans." This factual statement was drawn from Lightning Out of Lebanon: Hezbollah Terrorists on American Soil, Tom Diaz and Barbara Newman (New York: Ballantine Books, 2006; p. 62). The title of my comment is a reference to the assassination that had been carried out by Israel upon Mugniyah, 12 February, 2008. When I'm asked how Israel is vital to American national security, among other responses, I inform them of this precise service. Mugniyah was the nexus between al Qa'ida, Hezbollah and Iran. He was able to evade American capture since the 1970s. Thanks Israel!
