Just a comment:

Back about 40-50 years ago, it was safe for americans to travel abroad.
At the time, (at least as far as I remember from High School history
classes,) The united states had a forign policy known as 'Jingoism', 
followed by isolationism.  Basicaly, people did not go out and kill
or hold hostage random american travelers.  We then went into our
periodic left shift, and had a rather wimpy forign policy.  Now, the
same people who were marching at UC Berkeley for Peace or Free Love, or
Pot, or whatever are now teaching there, and the majority of students
are now pretty conservative.  The government is now starting to reflect
this shift.  The US is begining to get tough again, and in about 5-10
years, americans will probably be safe traveling abroad.  Those of you
who don't like guns, and are afraid of hand guns, and support all the right
liberal causes, do not despare, the US will probably shift left again 
next generation or so.  Personaly, I hope that it will take a long while.
I doubt it though, my guess is less than 20 years.
