[An.American.Expatriate]

The writer should have been more clear...or maybe not.

??? Maybe NOT? Excepting maybe the odd Mosque or so, ALL OF EUROPE is frequented by Westeners - so just HOW can one NOT frequent so locales?

I would hope though that Americans,specifically, who are overseas are changing up their routine if it is predictable.

Sure - because the idiots can't be specific, all Americans in Europe will instantly change thier daily habits - work, shopping, going to school, etc ...

I would imagine that it is hard to write an article without all of the information.

We are being warned as Americans...but other westerners are in danger, too, it seems.

So...do you warn JUST Americans...or do you suggest that maybe it’s wise for ALL westerners to avoid places like the Eiffel Tower and other tourist sites where many westerners gather?

A terrorist can’t bomb every locale...they are going to choose the ones where they can do the most damage. I would imagine that sites known to be frequented by groups of Americans would probably be prime targets.

It’s not, however, just Americans. So, I would imagine it’s hard for a journalist to write a story.
