The Washington Post's article this morning on this topic noted that issue
as twofold, both the distaste for American actions and the hassle factor
of the new security procedures.

Both of which will be pale in comparison for the costly requiremnt for
tourists to obtain/pay for visas when the USA implements its upcoming
requirements for visa unless you have biometric passport (whatever that
means since it hasn't been defined yet).

But it doesn't make a difference. No matter how you point to americans
that their own government is destroying the fabric of that nation, they
support those changes whcih they feel are absolutely necessary to
protect against terrorism. And foreign tourism isn't seen as important
by Americans since the domestic tourism industry is strong enough to
support itself. Dineyland will survive with just US visitors, won't it ?
