Why would any sane person tell "us" to not fear them at all?
I live and work in Manhattan. I'm aware of the non-zero chance that I'll be a victim. I don't "fear" this enough to move away but I'd be a fool to believe it could never happen.

Brave people move forward in spite of whatever fear they might feel. I would like to see America's leadership tell us to be a strong nation, not to constantly harp on how vulnerable and weak we supposedly are so they can pass pet legislation. After 9/11 I feel like the only thing my government did was encourage us to cower in terror before bin Laden (and Iraq, etc.) so they could avoid debating otherwise dubious policies like the Iraq invasion.
