I agree.  Unfortunately, in the Real World,  it is easy to make a list
of those threatening individuals--and that list has to be headed
by Ubu POTUS (Bush jr.), R. Cheney, T. Blair, Sir I. Blair, with their
agents, confederates, and paymasters.  Even more unfortunately,

its agencies."

Given this reality, and the vast power difference between those
individuals and your run-of-the-mill psycopaths, I suggest that
your following sentence would be much improved by this slight
change:

		           *threat from which we need protection.*
