Well, that is true but the Burnhams were in such a remote area that I doubt they got news until it was some months old. Heck, if it weren't for CNN and the internet Cuttnhorse wouldn't know what is happening around the world until much after the fact.

I agree with, it is important to get out as soon as trouble occurs. When we took that action in Grenada and when our marines died in Beruit I was in the Alps on the Swiss and Italian border. Most of the news broadcast were in Italian but I understood enough to be worried. Finally, I got a rebroadcast of a BBC story and a copy of the Internationl Herald Tribune. I changed my plans and headed home.

It's still a matter of assuming risk. The Phillipines, outside of parts of Manilla has never been a safe place to be.

If you want or need to go to some part of the world that really has no effective law or government, then you are assuming the risk of anything that happens to you.

If someone is kidnapped in a NATO country, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, The Caribean, or in a major resort in Mexico I will feel sorry for them. That is about the extent of the really civilized World. You leave it at your own risk.
