Well the New Zealand and Canadian embassies haven't issued such warnings (as far as I know) so I don't agree they had no choice.
Anyway I'm not singling out the Americans for over-reacting. The whole warning in itself is an over-reaction.
This sort of thing happens over here. We don't tell our own to avoid bars in a particular area.
