Ed_Dman:By not going to Bali or anywhere, doesn't mean that the terrorists will stop, what they are doing. Just look at 9-11. By staying home (in your country), doesn't neccessary mean, you're safe. If the terrorists target a place, it doesn't matter where you are.
This is very true... If americans stopped traveling because of fear... we'd all be sitting at home, waiting for the big one to hit? That doesn't sound very fun. Have people stopped flying on airplanes since 9-11? Has Israel's tourism died because of terror attacks? London, Paris, NYC? So why Bali? Really... what are the odds of being caught in a terror attack... I think it's about the same odds as walking down the street in a city, and having a flower pot land on your head and kill you. Really?!?
To give in to terror is letting terrorists win... Living your life without fear, is letting you win. Don't let terrorists win... Don't cancel any travel plans because of a "heightened paranoia alert" code red, whatever... IT's all a bunch of horse crap.
We could all die on any given day, so why not make every day fun and fear free?
