As to the Arabic newspapers, some said some pretty vile things. Others showed great sympathy and regret. (Kinda sounds like the Times vs. the Globe in the U.S. to me.) So, what is the point of printing the hatred? To create more hatred between Americans and Muslims? Seems like there's more than enough of that already.

Sorry, I don't get your point and I think I'm glad I don't.
Well,I do get your point.

His body wasn't blown to pieces. If the accounts in the mideast papers are accurate about what happened to our ambassador, Americans shouldn't have their heads in the sand about "buying friendship".

Not to get into religion, but what kind of a religion condones MURDER of innocent Navy Seals, ambassador, etc. all because of a silly YouTube movie that hardly had any hits previously............if they wanted to "do someone in" go after the film's producer.......not the innocents in Libya.

God rest all their souls.........
