Found somewhere on the web:

Appeal to Fear:
If you don't accept Appeal to Fear as the greatest fallacy, then THE 
TERRORISTS WILL HAVE WON. Do you want that on your conscience, that THE 
TERRORISTS WILL HAVE WON because you were a pansy who didn't really 
think that Appeal to Fear was worth voting for, and you wanted to vote 
for something else? Of course not, and neither would the people you let 
die because THE TERRORISTS WILL HAVE WON.

This is why children should be taught basic logic and
how to recognize propaganda. The failure to teach these
skills leaves entire populations open to be easily
manipulated by unscrupulous people.
