"...Even what you two have said is borderline capitulation - You have shrunk down and accepted that this sort of outcome has reason..."

I don't think it is that at all. I view it as simply reality and I have to deal with it.

Traveling alone and unarmed in a majority muslim country is dangerous. That is not rational at all, but it is reality, and we have to face reality even if it is irrational.

Not like the guy who wanted to go hiking in Iran and got taken in and thrown in jail for years. Crazy people like him (liberals) think that we should all live in peace, and because he thought that was the way things SHOULD be, he was simply going to ignore the reality.

This poor guy just made a dumb mistake.
