Could be. However, it does show that even average people without ideological fervor can run amok and cause significant damage. We don't know exactly what the motivating factor was behind the embassy attack..........the video or a planned assault. What we do know is that mob mentality can lead to an overreaction like what happened in the small Dutch town. For that reason [and a number of others], I don't think we can view the embassy attack as a hostile act warranting war as MM was suggesting. That's all.
