"The American ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed when a mob of protesters and gunmen overwhelmed the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, setting fire to it in outrage over a film that ridicules Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Libya's new president apologized Wednesday for the attack, which underlined the lawlessness plaguing a region trying to recover from months of upheaval.
Ambassador Chris Stevens, 52, died as he and a group of embassy employees went to the consulate to try to evacuate staff as a crowd of hundreds attacked the consulate Tuesday evening, many of them firing machine-guns and rocket-propelled grenades."
Romney's attempt to turn this into a political football is beyond disgusting. As is the film that instigated this, and the religious fanatics who did the crime itself. Simple, angry minds and twisted religious zealotry have always been a deadly mix. This story demonstrates the instant depravity of that combination, and the raw hatred of both US "Christian" religious fanatics and the people they hate, Islamic fanatics. They are all insane.
I've never heard of atheists attacking and killing anybody over arguments about invisible friends. - Wes
