Of course,

But why do Americans walk the planet with the idea that the U.S. will do almost anything to get them home?

I will never forget the kid who had his head hacked off by those idiots who kidnapped him. Didn't that teach anyone a lesson?

The gal who was recently kicked out of Iran because she was making a film?
Hey, it's wonderful to be kidnapped and released alive, but what 'inspires' someone to go to areas on the planet where they know shiat is going down?

I feel for the poor people who live along the US/Mex border that cross south and get punked down there?

Why are people so willing to ignore travel advisories? Who were the missionaries who ended up getting nabbed and spent years in central/south America dragged around in the forest? National Geo has a great program on people trying to smuggle dope, and get caught?

If you go to Everest and fall off, freeze or get all jacked up because you want to climb a mountain?

Yeah, I'll go for that, but when you start playing Red Rover with NK border guards carrying Chinese made AKs? Stay there stupid. Quien te mando?
