Sound familiar?
And what of Obama's great speech in Cairo?
One thing is quite clear. Our enemies don't respect or fear the Obama administration
Libyan forces fought along side American forces to repel extremists in Bengazi. They also rushed wounded Americans to the Hospital.
Libya just had a revolution that overthrew a violent dictator that authored a terrorist attack against America.
It's government is still new..and shaky. It's a violent place. Shit happens.
Yes, it's important to distinguish violence on the part of some from the state-sponsored government actions.
It's a simple matter to take paint all of any party with the same brush--as the rebels have done with condemning all Americans for the actions of the kookie film maker apparently. But its no more correct for us to do it in response and retaliation.
As you say, shit happens.
That having been said...I do think there is a kernel of truth to Grump's comment in this case. I don't think that a YouTube video can set off this sort of violence in two countries; it smacks of organization to me. I'd love to know what the chatter was before the events.
