Very probably this:<p>&gt; I fear the overreaction coming, of both citizens and governments.<p>This is pretty much the standard official and media reaction to these kind of events. You&#x27;re supposed to fear the &quot;backlash&quot; more than the terrorism. Yes, dear French people, this was bad, but the <i>real</i> catastrophe would be voting for Le Pen or ending Mid-East and African immigration.<p>That&#x27;s what the OP probably meant. If you think about it, don&#x27;t you think it is a <i>somewhat</i> unnatural reaction to being under attack, to always end up fearing those who <i>didn&#x27;t</i> initiate the attack?
