&gt; <i>If you think about it, don&#x27;t you think it is a somewhat unnatural reaction to being under attack, to always end up fearing those who didn&#x27;t initiate the attack?</i><p>It is, but natural reaction is <i>wrong</i>. I <i>still</i> have much bigger chance of dying in a car accident than a terrorist attack. In general, the natural reaction to such events was fine 6000 years ago, but in today&#x27;s hyperconnected, media-driven society, awareness of a danger is usually inversely proportional to the chance of it happening to you.<p>But I also know that general population has this natural reaction, and - as politicians follow the voice of people, instead of the voice of reason - it leads to very bad outcomes. I am afraid of those bad outcomes.
