I've heard it often that anybody in a foreign country comes up to an American tourist and say, "Hi. I know you're from the USA. We hate their government, but we do appreciate you visiting us. Enjoy your stay."
Now would any American tourist visiting a country like Iran be whisked off a plane in Tehran, and be immediately accused of spying, even though the toursit came there just to view the artifacts carved from centuries of history when Iran used to be Persia?
I was in Switzerland in 1989, and no one there ever talked politics with me, which was fine. I didn't go for that. I went there to look at how beautiful the country was. The German people were so nice, but the Italians were another matter. The French I didn't interact with very much. The people in the Grisons area were also good.
