skeeter Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 currently missing in Afghanistan after travelling to the country as a tourist. Canadian and Afghan officials are working “to assist the family in securing the safe release” of the man WHY???????????? If he is that stupid, let his family deal with it.
Old Man Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 It never ceases to amaze me at how little sense of self preservation some people have. The federal government advises Canadians to avoid all travel to Afghanistan, calling the situation in the Middle Eastern country “volatile and unpredictable” and adding that the threat to Canadians from terrorist violence is very high. “Canadians undertaking travel despite this warning take serious risks,” Foreign Affairs’ travel report warns.
solopaddler Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 My guess is no one goes to Afghanistan on holliday. There's probably more going on here that we'll never know.
DRIFTER_016 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 My guess is no one goes to Afghanistan on holliday. There's probably more going on here that we'll never know. You're right, but I just got back from a lovely 3 week vacation in Somalia with a stop in Libia on the way.
wallyboss Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Wonder if the Taliban man is that naive????
ehg Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 My guess is no one goes to Afghanistan on holliday. There's probably more going on here that we'll never know. I think you are right, Solo. This guy wasn't on 'vacation'. Now he has some big problems
Grimace Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 I think he may have been some kind of wannabe journalist or something. Anyways whatever his deal is, I would not want his fate.
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 i've heard there's some great "all inclusives" to be had in libya right now.
Tybo Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah tourist.Yeah that's right, a tourist. I wonder what this guy looks like. Think he has blonde hair and blue eyes.
Grimace Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 His bloodlines are half Chinese half Scottish. What he looks like doesn't make any difference.
bigbuck Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 This guy is a complete moron!! I feel sorry for his family and for the poor taxpayer. His family will probably have to pay an undisclosed sum for his release (if they don't skin him first) and External Affairs will have to pay staffers who knows how much to deal with this. I'm being a bit coldhearted but I don't suffer fools and this guy certainly qualifies. Who in their right mind goes to a war zone who doesn't have any business there (soldiers, media, mercenaries (oops, I meant private contracters), and the like).
POLLIWOGG Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Google tourism in Afghanistan, you might be surprised. But it must be almost as dangerous as Mexico or Toronto during the G20.
