You can travel to Kuwait if you'd like. They have tourist visa's for many nationalities. Dubai is a good visit as well we Qatar, Oman and several other locations in the Middle East. I've been living there since 1995 (Kuwait).

Dumb statement. America is dangerous for Americans. There are many places in this country that americans can't go into without threat of death. Same as other countries. Stay on the tourist path in any country and you will be fine. Venture out into the hood waving your american flag and you are asking for it anywhere.

I've been to Egypt as well. I guess everywhere you go these days can be considered dangerous but I've never run into any problems. My softball team from Kuwait actually travelled to Egypt for a tournament a few years ago. Many Americans participated in that. I've played in tournaments in Dubai, we've played in Saudi Arabia and Oman. Never had any problems being an American.

likely just the media concentrating on the bad, making it seem ubiquitous

Yeah I went to Egypt with no problems. But the year before some Americans were blown up near where I went. Poor buggers, their government was asking for this stuff to happen.

Yes, the actions of the government warrant the killing of civilians who just happened to be born American and have nothing whatsoever to do with the actions of the military. Typical Muslim thought process. You got your burqa on?
