Oy. It is awful -- I don't deny that -- but if you're sensible you can travel just about anywhere. Two of my good friends travelled to Japan; one even lived there for a year, and nothing ever happened to them. Then again, they tend ot have a great deal of common sense.
I'd say there's just as high a risk of being killed horribly in your home country as there is abroad. In fact, I feel infinitely safer walking down a street in Paris than I do in Dayton. At least I'm less likely to get shot for the $20 in my purse.
