Yes, because unthinking, visceral reactions are always better than following things through to their logical conclusion.

We are dealing with an interaction between two entities: the government of a nation and ANY citizen of that nation. Those are the categories. We are also dealing with an extraordinary circumstance. This is the point in the decision making process where you can #1 roll up your shirtsleeves do some hard work, or... you can #2 make a really stupid decision with far-reaching consequences.

Option #2 is easier, and "feels" better.
