It's a false equivalence to pair a situation where it would happen just because it was there and partiers ran amok to a situation where the Embassy was the intended target.

And I wouldn't go to war with anyone over it, but would consider our relations. The reaction of the majority of Libyans is a rejection of the actions of the few. Egypt? I think Obama is right to say that he doesn't consider them either friend or foe right now. Regardless of what the majority might think, there's been no overall rejection of the actions there and the government more or less gave its blessing to the people who rioted at the Embassy there. Though Morsi is seriously considering letting girls as young as nine be married, as long as they "can handle the sex" (whatever that means and how do they determine that?) and seems to have pretensions to speak for all Arabs, even from a country that's only majority Arab due to invasion (oh, those evil colonizers!).
