Well, Americans haven't been killing anybody, they've been talking and trying to find out the truth.
And for the people who are lashing out at the "hysterics", well, even the President had no idea what was going on.
Maybe there is nothing to worry about. But within the span of a few short days, a bombshell that nobody understood was dropped on us.
I don't think people have to get angry at each other just because they have differences of opinions that are based on sketchy information (I've been to Dubai, etc.).
And so far, I still think it's a bad idea. It is unfortunate that a (current) ally is being mistreated, but that is as a result of the current system, which apparently didn't require approval from Homeland Security (at the least).
...even the President had no idea what was going on.

about the decision of the SFIUS panel, because it is secret. He surely is aware of the considerable alliance that we have with the UAE in the present day. The harbor in Dubai is holding more of our ships than any other port in the world. The plan for shipping security begins abroad, not in our terminal, and they are helping in every way to keep all shipping secure.
But this need for Americans to "know" how our shipping is being protected, and demanding that chapter and verse be spelled out on the security measures in place, will give any opportunistic enemies more info than employees of this company would.
