ABSOLUTELY.
They aren't doing their jobs, they are acting like imbeciles. Like clueless children. Like little girls. I feel sorry for Lara Logan, she was raised to think that being a prom queen would be a form of protection. It isn't. Now she knows. She should go around the country giving seminars on how being child-like on the battlefield of men is no protection whatsoever.
Since you have absolutely no idea what I've done in my life, you are secure in blowing smoke out of your ass. I would have gone in armed to the teeth and started shooting at anything that moved. I would have demanded that my cameraman be armed to the teeth and if he didn't start shooting at anything that moved I would have put a bullet right between his eyes. If I did nothing else, I would have taken more than a few with me.
Did you even notice, at all, that there was NO exraction plan if she got into trouble? She was put out there with no protection, no plan, nothing but the faint hope that being cute was a form of protection unto itself. What a bunch of fools. Agreeing to what was a suicide mission to get the story made her the biggest fool of all. She'd be dead if there weren't WOMEN around to fight FOR her and get her out.
Sheer stupidity.
I just think alot of people in the West are very ignorant about how people are in that part of the world, the bottom line is people in countries like Iran, Egypt, Pakistan etc are very sexuall repressed, ESPECIALLY the men, alot of them don't get to have sex very much and for most of them a white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes is a walking wet dream Like I said earlier, blondes are a rarity in that part of the world and they are seen all the time in movies and lusted after in a bad way, it was damn stupid to even put her on the ground in that country without security, they should have just sent an ugly fat man in there to cover the story but they wanted a sexy blonde to cover it.
You're right. You don't go quite far enough though. Logan was attacked, but when someone in the crowd started calling her a Jew, they meant to murder. There are a lot of people in the west that are ignorant that's for sure. There are more people in the west who are arrogant and that's where it gets even worse. The west respects women so everyone else does so too. Or, we can just demand they do and get in a huff when they don't.
I didn't know people in the crowd were yelling Jew, in that case she is lucky she got out of there with her life, I hope this serves as a lesson to all Western women especially those of caucasian descent that you just can't go strolling around in Middle Eastern countries alone with no protection, but I doubt it will. Alot of people are convinced that Egypt is a modern secular country with an open minded people that just need a chance.
