If someone hates you and wants to beat you up, pinning them down to the ground until they cry uncle and promise to give up etc is not a good way to prevent them from doing that, if anything it just guarantees further antipathy.

Obviously, on a national scale, allowing those with ill intentions to carry out their desires is unacceptable.

I wont pretend to have the answer, I just see the flaws in hindsight of the way the situation was dealt with.
