Dear Mr Owens
Since when has the US Administration been acting in rational manner? I really do not want to get political, but there have been more the NUMEROUS examples of the US authorities simply executing what they believe is right in the past years (no, Guantanamo never happened and 4 years of inprisonment is all legitimate, right…). I do belive this might just as well be the case here – especially considering the recent crackdown on sportsbetting in the US.
I dont think we are paranoid and we are maybe just slightly getting carried away by this – but for a good reason. We will be facing severe consequences if even part of this turns out to be true and we are there…
In the end it all comes down to a personal decision – i wouldnt call my canceling the stay in Vegas putting my head into the sand though. Theres way too much at stake here to be putting it in such simplistic terms.
Even if this all turns out to be complete bullshit, i have made the choice and i dont think i will ever regret it. Those events happen on a fairly regular basis around the world so if you need to go out there and meet people you will certainly have the chance do to so outside of US.
