Reuters: US ambassador to Libya dead

[Martinus]

Something good has come out of it:

In the Lebanese city of Tripoli, protesters set fire to a KFC branch, sparking clashes with security forces.

Do they know Colonel Sanders doesn't actually hold rank in the US army? 

Though we can be certain less Lebanese will die of coronary heart disease. 



edit:
I was going to extend the joke along the lines of more risk dying of lead poisoning, but it now turns out one person was killed in this incident. 

I don't get it - if a person was shot, this makes the joke more a propos, and consequently better.

The dude on CNN reporting from Cairo got Tear gas in his face. LET'S WATCH.

No, that's Anderson Cooper.  And it was just spooge.

Now that Anderson Cooper got a sponge to his face and the Lebanase got outraged, too, WILL THE US ADMINISTRATION FINALLY APOLOGIZE FOR FRED PHELPS???

[Jaron]

sponge?

[garbon]

This is just entirely ludicrous at this point (not that it wasn't before but when is this going to end?).

Protesters enraged by a film mocking the Prophet Mohammad battled with police in several Asian cities on Monday and vented their fury against the United States, blaming it for what they see as an attack on the Muslim religion.

Police fired in the air to break up a crowd marching on the U.S. consulate in the Pakistani city of Karachi while in Afghanistan and Indonesia people burnt U.S. flags and chanted "Death to America".

Indonesian police fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse hundreds of demonstrators who massed outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, capital of the most populous Muslim nation.

In Kabul, protesters set fire to cars and shops and threw stones at police.

"We will defend our prophet until we have blood across our bodies. We will not let anyone insult him," said one protester in the Afghan capital. "Americans will pay for their dishonor."

That's why I used the plural.

Yeah but it seems odd as its more like them throwing a tantrum over us than us really caring at all about them.

After all, we weren't seeing our marines mowing down these violent protesters.

Careful garb, gonna give Ed a boner.

Well, they do throw their tantrums.  It happens with TEH PROFIT.  Your average American doesn't really give two thoughts about Islam over the course of any given day, unless they're flying planes full of people into buildings full of more people.

On the other hand, they can't grasp the concepts of freedom of speech, or that there's a difference between the United States Government and a wingnut with a handy cam.  But there ya go.

We can dream.

It only takes one to have a war

Well, they've been waging it since the 9th century.  Go fig.

[garbon]

unless they're flying planes full of people into buildings full of more people.

Or building Islamic centers in Lower Manhattan. That even turned people who hate NYC against them.

I saw some news reports on TV saying that the guy who put that video out is an Egyptian Coptic Christian. Anyone see that reported? Maybe it's in this thread already somewhere.

And yes, they have no clue how the democratic nations work with freedoms and such. Free speech they have no concept of, and also that the govt doesn't have anything to do with videos. Just one guy putting out some stuff doesn't mean a reason to attack all Americans, or people of western nations. The people doing this have serious issues on their part that they need to look at, rather than those they hate on.
