Maybe her next trip is on a chartered yacht that will sail close to the Somalian shore.

Or a missionary trip to that island off India where the natives don't like strangers.

There's always bicycling through Kazakhstan ...

Or adventure hiking in Morocco.

And I hear North Korea gives out lovely souvenir posters.

Exactly. I’m hoping this was a one-off to get her out of there while we force their government to really crack down.

or she could go hiking in Afghanistan like those nutbar Canadians.
They were kept for 5 years, I think, and had 3 kiddos in captivity. No cable TV in those caves, i guess.

Pay the ransom, fine. Then send in the Sicilians.

Unfortunately the Sicilians are not available as they are right now facing a Muslim invasion and not doing to well against it.

In time this Sicily, Islam problem will be a thread of FR when it reaches disastrous levels. - tom

And make sure you have a St Christopher's medal, bibles and crucifixes aboard.

February18, 2011 | 9:17 pm Pirates off the coast of Somalia have hijacked the yacht of a couple on a worldwide voyage distributing Bibles, according to Somalia’s United Nations mission.

I’ve read that Uganda is trying to lure back Indians now, after Idi Amin chased them out 40 years ago. The economy ground to a halt, and hasn’t budged since.

For some political porn, watch YouTube clips of conversations/interviews with Africans from Uganda, Zimbabwe, etc. - both before and after independence. The smug naivete of the young adults that just assume non-blacks were handed everything is mind-boggling; I’d love to interview those idiots today. One clip has a black fellow in Zimbabwe wondering why blacks today refuse to use “trash receptacles” or only defecate in certain designated areas. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad; now they are all trying to get into modern Western countries ruled by white people...

maybe ransom was privately paid, since it happened quickly.

I’m so glad our American sister has been safely returned.
Now it time to unleaded hell fire on the savages.
Let it be known if you harm an Americam there will be a very high price.
I say lets bomb the capital, all the leaders homes, take out all communications, and any useful infer structure.
Oh, by the way, we went our 5 million dollars back

Or head to Alaska and commune with the grizzlies: Timothy Treadwell Tours.

But wouldn't it be easier to just prick your finger and jump into the piranha pool?

Uganda is a level 2 travel advisory same as Italy, France, UK and Germany. Still wouldn’t go.

Don’t want to sound rude, but is your comment a joke?

Why should American assets be used on something like this? It’s not like she was part of some diplomatic or government group trying to accomplish something. Or even something like Doctors Without Borders or some other aid group that was there trying to help?

If someone jumps in the ocean during a shark frenzy, do you feel bad that they’re eaten alive? I sure as hell don’t.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

They got what they paid for.

“For some political porn, watch YouTube clips of conversations/interviews with Africans from Uganda, Zimbabwe, etc. - both before and after independence.“

I’d love to see a few.

A lady from South Africa used to post here, Cathy somebody. She posted some very sad and terrible stories about what happened to her country. But she freely admitted that she’s voted for it.

Hard to feel sorry for people who do that.

No joke. I just think anytime an American is involved the perps should crap their pants because of what we might do.
I want them to have the fear of God and the USA we might open a can of unmerciful whoop ass on them.

If the American(s) were there for legitimate reasons then, YES.

If you’re willing to take unnecessary chances so you can brag to your friends that you did this or that, then you’re on your own, IMHO.

I’m not about sending an SF team to rescue someone who was stupid and have one of them catch a, To Whom It May Concern bullet, over some bullsh*t.

Pro tip: when you get the word that a bodyguard is “highly recommended”, switch to Disney World.

No special forces needed.
I’m thinking cruise missiles, jdams, paveways, cluster bombs, etc.
I want to put the fear of God into anyone that harms an American.
They blowup a restaurant in England, kill an American, and we eliminate a swath of that county.
Kill 1 American, we take out thousands
