Or, are you willing to just throw up your hands and not expect any help? Just curious.
Me, I'm not going anywhere where there are a lot of people who want to kill me simply because (1) I'm an American citizen and (2) I'm a tourist. In my opinion (and please note that this is strictly an opinion) it would be tantamount to being American and Jewish in 1943 and deciding it would be a fun time to visit Germany just to take in the view of the Alps.
In other words ... not a particularly good idea.

I agree wholeheartedly.
It annoys the hell out of me when I read of morons deciding to take a vacation to some 'hot spot', putting their lives in danger, then bleating that their govenment did not act swiftly enough when the do get into trouble. It also makes me ten times more annoyed when I hear that they have children in tow with them.
The history of India is fascinating, but after I read the book "The City of Joy' by Dominuque Lapierre it toned down my urge to visit.
It's all so sad that humans are their own worst enemies.
