Okay. I understand you thinking he is blameless in this and just an innocent American abroad. I’ve been all over this world in ‘hostile’ places and I know common sense is your best defense. If he didn’t, shame on him. It’s probably because he’s been treated as some kind of special elite - I don’t know. But I’m gonna go to sleep tonight and I won’t be thinking about him and his plight one bit.
If this situation really meant little to you, why are you spending such energy defending your position?
Men sometimes stumble over the truth, but almost invariably they dust themselves off and carry on as though nothing happened.
