Another lurker posting: German filmmakers attempted to grapple with government-fostered public hysteria and severe infringement of civil rights after terrorist attacks, kidnappings, hi-jackings of airliners, murders of Israeli athletes, etc. by the RAF and the PLF in the Federal Republic of Germany in the 70's. Films such as The Lost Honor of Katherina Blum, Marianne and Juliane, Strongman Ferdinand, Circle of Deceit, The Third Generation, Stammheim, and the omnibus film Germany in Autumn - to name just a few, could be productively used in courses to gain different and critical perspectives on some of what is already going on in this country as a reaction to the attacks in New York and Washington. A "Crusade to Eliminate Evil in the World" is the last thing needed at this point.
