I don't know if I agree with that bobnot - a lot of countries hate the United States of America and by association, its citizens. Whether it's a beheading for being an American or a kidnap for being a 'wealthy Westerner', it happens all too often. The USA is probably scare mongering, but it's not without good reason - a white person in a Middle Eastern or African nation will stand out and if someone wants to kidnap a foreigner, they'll pick the easy target. There's a reason why oil companies provide insane protection and have complexes for their workers in "hostile territory"...
