As I read Harry Turtledove's latest book in the "Settling Accounts" Trilogy, The Grapple, I encountered the above unfamiliar Latin phrase. Attributed to the Roman poet Lucius Accius, it translates roughly as follows.

Let them hate us, so long as they fear us.

On this, the eve on the anniversary of 9/11, might I suggest that the words are the appropriate policy for the civilized nations of the world to follow regarding the jihadi Muslims who attacked the US five years ago -- and who have been permitted to conduct a campaign of terror against the civilized people's of the world for far too long.
