I don't know about anyone else but I am getting real tired of everyone on the news saying how "safe" Aruba is. Daily someone comments on how beautiful, safe, etc. this place is. Who cares? Heck, this is NOT THE ISSUE - We are not concerned about Aruba's reputation. Nor does our media have to show some evedince that we want to protect their tourist trade and not harm it!

I didn't hear anyone try to be sure tourism in Florida did not suffer when the kidnappings occured there. Who on the news kept repeating that Florida was safe? It was obvious the most important thing was finding the kidnapped victims - not Florida's economy based on the tourists.

CitizenM this is in response to some US media talkmeister that started out with condeming Aruba, O'Reilly, Whoreraldo, this Dee Fine woman amont others calling for a boycott of Aruba. There are at least 2 on-line petitions that are calling for a boycott of the island.

I wonder if a tourist or a vacationer has ever come up missing in the US, I wonder if there are still missing tourist in the US, I wonder if there are still missing Americans still missing in the US. Have we been boycotted because someone came up missing here? Should we boycott ourselves? Tourism is Aruba's economy. I believe the Arubans are concerned about Natalee, even her mother says so.

Maybe not, but I do remember being told time and time again how safe it was to fly right after 9/11 to make sure airlines didn't suffer.
