As I posted elsewhere... There are just some things that sane people should know not to do; never go into a 7-11 in North Philly at 6:00am for a cup of coffee, you will like be shot in a robbery. Along the same lines, never vacation or take university courses in the Middle East while things are as unsettled as they have been for years. You make your choices and you live with the consequences. I personally think that (1) those that live there can stay there; (2) those on vacation and attending university classes can pay for themselves just as they would have done when they were originally scheduled to leave; and (3) those there on official work assignments should be taken care of by their employer. Why must I pay for the dubious decisions of others???
Never forget Lt Col Higgins.
