| #2 First of all, travelers, feckless do gooders, and civilians in general need to exercise some basic common sense. Read [and fok'n heed] the State Department Foreign Travel bulletins. Ask yourself, now what could possibly go wrong with me leaving Peoria and flying to Baghdad to become an aid worker, news person, or writer? Use worst case scenario's, read the paper, talk to your insurance agent, your mother, e-mail the USEMBASSY personnel. Do some fok'n research ! There really is no fixing stupid. |
