There are plenty of people killed everyday in those places... To somehow believe that just because you come with good i tentions, you wont be one of the unlucky ones is naive... Just because one is white, has a family, comes from another country, those things dont mean squat in war ridden countries. A friend of mines dad went as a journalist, got kidnapped, and haressed and threathened somewhere in middle east, and his wife was hysterical and begging for his return which he was granted... But no one should be surprised or act in disbelief when stuff like this happens... His murder was one of many that occurs every single day on a frequent basis in the middle east. I am not surprised, nor should the press pretend to be, nor any one else. That is my point of view. 

But I personally believe one must be pretty arrogant and full of oneself to go to such places and believe themselves to be even moderately safe.

There are many dying every day in the region, so I'm not surprised either.  But who said they're surprised?  Who said he believed himself to be safe because he's white & British?  Your claims of him being "naive" are annoying because you're being prejudiced.


Yeah, im jumping to conclusions. But this is how i see the situation, not that big of a deal. Its just part of my aquarian detachment ;---p

i actually do believe people like him to be naive, and arrogant in ways not concievable to the naked eye.
