Why travel over seas?

Tourist areas of the Caribbean are safe. Violent ghettos and war zones aren't popular tourist destinations. Dairy farmers don't kill their cows and murdering tourists is bad for business. The people who go to places like Afghanistan or Somalia and get kidnapped or killed by terrorists are usually journalists, aid workers, soldiers, contractors, or government agents. Regular tourists don't go to those places.

You are confused. There are lots of places over seas that are quite safe. There are also places that aren't. Many Americans tend to be afraid of anything "different". They are the same people who think we have the world's best health system, best educational system, etc, etc. They are wrong based on any formal measurement.
It drives me nuts when people scream AMERICA IS NUMBER ONE! When they've never left their own zip code. Sort of like claiming vanilla is the best ice cream when all you've ever tried is vanilla. I love going over seas. Some things in the US are best, but people who say so with nothing to compare it to are rather ignorant.

I agree stay the heck at home we have to go to caribbean and pick up people all the time they get in the crap drugs what ever their are plenty of places in USA to go Stay home and enjoy freedom
