<p>You got a better, more rational answer from interesteddad than you’ll get from me, another anxious mom, but I would vote for Chile. No Islamists blowing up the subways.</p>
<p>I am probably way overreacting, but until we get rid of W. Americans in Europe are going to be targets.</p>
<p>Edit: I just saw the reference to Argentina and my vote would be for that over Spain as well.</p>
<p>Not only the relative insulation from the current anti-U.S. sentiment in large immigrant communities, but your kids are going to be in the world for another 70 years or so. Try to think of the geopolitical balance in 25 or 30 years. Europe will continue to fade in influence; South America has many emerging markets and a rapidly stabilizing political scene. Familiarity with South America will be a huge plus in business in the next 10-25 years. Spain is a relatively small player in a fading area of the world.</p>
