The Libyan govt has apologized, and appropriately expressed their own outrage, as have and will other govts around the world. Well, that changes everything doesn't it...... The Libyan gov't, (what there is of it), would have to be completely myopic in order not to see this coming..... Most likely, they knew of it and could have prevented this outrage.... I'm confused about something..... If the purpose of having a well armed security detachment attached to our embassies is to keep our officials safe, why isn't there a pile of dead muslim fanatics in front of the embassy entrance? At what point do we let our security forces do their job and protect?

the Muslim world is laughing at Obama, OBL said we only respect the strongest Horse. Obama apology regarding Cairo reminds me of the Munich Agreement and what Hitler said. The next day, Chamberlain visited Hitler again. He asked him to promise not to bomb Prague. He suggested that they might go on to solve the Spanish Civil War and the Russian problem. Then he got Hitler to sign a statement which read: ‘We regard the agreement signed last night as symbolic of the desire of our two people never to go to war with each other again’ It is interesting to read now what Hitler had signed – he had not signed a promise not to go to war. He had signed only that he did not WANT (desire) to go to war again. In fact, privately, the day before, he and Mussolini had agreed that they would have to fight ‘side by side’ against France and Britain – who Hitler called, after Munich , ‘the little worms’.
