I totally AGREE. I also wondered and ended up not posting anything.
I already have a "warning" and never ever even looked at the POLITICAL forum....nor posted.
As far as embassy or consulate safety, I was just thinking a few days before this attack occurred......wondering if on 911 anyone would attempt an attack on our foreign embassy or consulate. Reason being is that we have a young friend , daughter of a neighbor of ours, whom we've known since childhood..........who went away to Georgetown Univ., then studied Arabic in Egypt, Syria, Jordan, etc.........and is now vice consul at the American Consulate or Embassy in Lagos Nigeria. She's under thirty years old; single gal. I do worry. Lagos Nigeria is not a great place to be, but it's her first assignment. She interviews those looking to get visas to leave the country. On 911, I thought "How easy it was for the pilots and such to gain access to our country; they even took flight lessons in Venice Florida".
