In Reply to: Grrrrrrrrrrrrr Travel Warnings!!! posted by timnit on Thursday, 21. January 2010 at 05:37 Bali Time:
I believe these "warnings" are issued by Governments as they ostensibly have a "duty of care" in regards to their citizens wishing to travel to certain parts of the globe. They are designed to make them aware of " perceived threats" their analyists have identified.
Then, if anything occurs in these areas a "told you so" attitude may arise, and arguments / discussions possibly could eventuate in the aftermath re the respective Government's involvement / assistance to persons effected.
In my humble opinion.......
