Blade-
I imagine you show as much sympathy to Christian missionaries when they're killed in other countries?

Ditto. Should we not mourn the cop who is killed in the line of duty? He knew the risks. Or the women who is killed in the car accident. She should have known it was dangerous to go on the road.

Mr. Johnson was surely aware of the risks, and he took them. But, he didn't take them for the fun of it. It was his job.

As at least two people have said, he was there for ten years. He wasn't some guy just walking around Saudi. He was there for his job. It doesn't matter if the U.S. government was warning citizens to leave S.A. He was not an ordinary citizen. He was a contractor needed in the region. The government was not evacuating itself, but rather people who didn't need to be there.

With all due respect; please think things through before posting
