When it comes to terrorism, however, we have created an atmosphere of fear that is wildly disproportionate to the actual risk, handing power to terrorists unnecessarily and harming ourselves preemptively. In many cases, the treatment – or the immune response – is worse than the disease.
但是，对于恐怖主义，我们营造了一种恐惧氛围，这种氛围往往远甚于实际风险，给恐怖分子按上了过大的实力，从一开始就自己吓唬着自己。在许多案例中，疗方——或免疫对策——比疾病更糟糕。
