look how quickly they reacted with the embassy attacks....this was confirmed on MONDAY and the attacks happened on 9/11 the following tuesday....the movie is just a smokescreen and of course the u.s. was responding to THAT instead of this: abcnews.go.com Al-Qaida Leader Confirms June Death of No. 2 Share Email Comment Print Text Size - / + By MAAMOUN YOUSSEF Associated Press CAIRO September 11, 2012 (AP) The leader of al-Qaida confirmed the death of the group's second-in-command, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in northwestern Pakistan in June. In a video posted late Monday on militant websites, al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri described his late lieutenant Abu Yahya al-Libi as a "lion of jihad and knowledge." The killing of al-Libi, who was Libyan by birth, was the biggest setback to al-Qaida since the death of Osama bin Laden. Al-Zawahri also urged Libyans — al-Libi was born in the north African country — to attack Americans to avenge the late militant's death, saying his "blood is calling, urging and inciting you to fight and kill the Crusaders." Al-Libi, whose real name was Hassan Mohammed Qaid, was considered a media-savvy and charismatic leader with religious credentials. He rose to prominence in the group after escaping from the U.S. military prison at the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan in 2005. In his eulogy, al-Zawahri also recalled how al-Libi fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union in the 1980s and then against the U.S. after the American-led invasion following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. He also praised al-Libi's writings, saying he fought the West "with his hand, pen and tongue."

Like I said before, Brian, this is a war between the Al Qaeda group and mentality and much of the rest of the world, including the US. The question is, how do you fight stateless terrorism that is Hydra-like, and has many heads? Morsi's first reaction is disappointing, even if predictable, given where Egypt is. I hope that he also tries to calm the crowd in addition to placating it with his request to "punish" the film maker. This is a moment of crisis for him too.
