I think we should all give it a rest.  Some of us feel strongly about
visiting the US, others do not.  Saying "I don't want to go to the US"
or "You should not not want to go to the US" is not a productive use of
bandwidth.

I would request that people try not to urge those unwilling to make the
trip (either for politcal reasons or any other).

(For the sake of balance, I am still undecided if I want to go, and the
UK's immegration and border control is as bad as the US's so I'm on
uneasy ground to try to make a point, so I won't.)
