Then the Canadians happily took him. Even as an American citizen these type of things can be very heavy. When I went through border security after my trip to Turkey the attitude was pretty much the same sentiment: "Why would you want to go to Turkey?" As if people didn't just want to travel and see the world.

I am embarrassed and quite frankly feel helpless. I've written my congress person and senators to this effect but neither political groups seem to care enough. I wonder if things like this will ever change.
