Fuchsake. Killing the ambassador of the country that came top of the 'most likely to invade anybody who pisses them off' polls for the last 10 years. Bunch of mensa candidates aren't they?

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Also : Reinforcing the western right's perception that a lot of muslim people are over-excitable nutballs with a propensity towards random acts of violence. Coming soon to a Fox News screen near you.

i think that 'fox news' doesn't need to get out of its cradle
they in the middle east are doing 'all' their work for them

'nuke them from orbit, its the only way to be sure.'

Armageddon is on its way, that's hope its on a Monday (its my day off) ...

Poor bastard. My sympathies also go to the families of the other consulate staff members who were killed.

That, unfortunately, was reenforced in my mind long ago.
I don't think its a religious thing actually, more of a cultural one. Killing someone seems to be too easily justified in the middle easy and certain parts of Asia.

I guess these people haven't twigged that having an embassy there means the US is slightly less likely to bomb them into powder.
