It ain't safe in some Iowa cities. Terrorist shot 4 people last night, killing 2. Other terrorist ambushed police officers wounding one. Many businesses have been burned and burgled.
I do not know. questions: Compared to what? Compared to where? Compared to when? aside from tornadoes, floods, ice storms, and blizzards iowa seems fairly safe on statistics for the murder rate per 100,000 population, we are the 13th safest state
Since you said that it wasn't safe in some Iowa cities, I asked you if it was a safe place. Compared to where? It is just to know whether that is a safe place for foreign tourists, for example.
on balance, yes, safe the recent rioting, looting, burning, and shooting was abnormal.(making it no less dangerous)
I would never travel there. Not after Daniel Pearl. Frankly, I have no interest in travelling to Pakistan at all. (Maybe Baltistan in the far north, perhaps.) Pakistan is a country that I thoroughly dislike. I'm very pro-India in that regard.
