Bilercin - thanks for your observations. You are indeed helpful.
To many of the other posters: this is not an issue of being "scared" because of a possible terrorist attack. I happened to be in New York City the morning of 9/11 and I've been back twice a year since then. The risks of being in such an event are very low and do not keep me from going anywhere I want to go. Rather, what I don't want is to have a political situation such as is going on in Turkey right now to mess up my annual vacation. Of course, I don't want to be in a country where political unrest becomes violent, but as importantly I don't want to be in a country whose political unrest could restrict movement, close off areas that I'm wanting to see, enforce curfews, etc. I just want to enjoy myself and if the political climate is not right in Turkey today, I can go another time when it is better. However, if the people who really do know the situation advise that this is no big deal, I'll go as planned.
