The Israelis probably don't batt an eye when a bus bomb kills 25 citizens. We will become the same way. Also, when the events occur across the world, we are further disconnected. I imagine our reaction would be stronger if a terrorist cell in the US killed a family of 6 at McDonalds in Louisville, KY. We should be thankful it's all "going down" over there.
If we left the Middle East and capitulated as the terrorists wish, would there be further demands? Would bin Laden say,"I will not rest until the US regime falls?"
After what has happened, any citizen who stays in Iraq or the Middle East should know they're taking their life in their own hands. I'm not saying any person deserves to be captured and killed, but they do know the risk exists. I know if I was there I'd be thinking about some personal defense.
