So, without fear, because I want to, I should travel to cambodia, burma, north korea, you name the craphole country, I should travel without fear, because it’s my right to do so? At some point common sense has to kick in, which these two people have zero of.
I have traveled all around the world, including to one of the spots you mentioned. I was never fearful for a moment. Part of what governments do is protect the interests of their citizens, whether at home or abroad. America has always fought to make sure we are respected in the world. We can either be, as a people, free to travel as we will, according to our God given rights to the pursuit of happiness, or we can be cowards who are disrespected, targeted with impunity, and forced to cower at home. No thanks. America has always taken the former option, and always made sure our people were respected and protected at home and abroad.

I don't disagree that they did something foolish, only that their mere presence in Iraq, did not in any way give neighboring Iran the right to abduct, mistreat and illegally imprison them.
