So acts of random violence can happen to you anywhere.

You said it right there! RANDOM VIOLENCE! What happens in KSA, Iraq and Afghanistan is not random violence, because in my definition of random violence there is an element of happening once in a specific location (for that matter a country). What happened to Bali last year was random violence. When it repeats itself it's no longer random. It's orchestrated like a military operation AND repeated.
Therefore, I keep traveling abroad in countries that have been under terrorists threats and actions (France, Germany, UK, etc..) and may well be in the very near future. It doesn't prevent me from going there, as a matter of fact I'm off to Europe next week taking 8 planes in 5 days, and I may be going right in the middle of something. Or may be not!
I'm just saying it's too dangerous to stick around SKA these days and if I had a relative killed during an attack (not random violence!!

) I would not forgive myself to have let that person stick around KSA.
I hope you understant my point. You don't have to agree with it tought!
