Despite having a bachelors degree in geography, I have never been outside the United States. I also have no desire to visit any foreign countries, and if I did, the Middle East sure would not be on my list. Going there gives the jihad terrorists a chance to kill them, or take them hostage, and hold them for ransom. I'm honestly debating with myself if Americans should even be permitted to visit these hellholes.
Sure there are hellholes here in the USA too. High crime Black communities. Well, I'd advise anyone concerned with their safety to stay away from them too. As for the Middle East, I don't know what the attraction is to a desert climate place, where whatever Islamic cultural attributes they have, I can get along very well without them.
Want to go traveling ? Lots of land to cover in the USA, Canada, and Europe.
We should enourage our rightwing christian fundamentalists to visit there
We should encourage everyone to stay the hell away from there. (except for US troops needing to keep a handle on nuclear weapons, and exterminate the jihadists- ISIS, Boko Haram, etc)
note the lack of logic if everyone stayed away, there would be no need to send troops.....you should volunteer....
I guess your liberal media never told you that jihad has been going on continuously for 1400 years, right ?
And that it's killed 270 million people around the world.
