"Daddy, come get us!" I'm American. I've lived and worked in 4 other countries, and worked for short periods in several others. I never went with the expectation that if there was trouble the US Govt would ride to my rescue. WTF did they expect, going into a country that was an active war zone? Unless they were there on a contract with a govt agency they are on their own. In 1977(?) during the Iran hostage fiasco, Ross Perot paid for and organized getting his employees rescued with out the US Govt help.
The year was 1979. Learn your history, dude.
