So?

How many Libyans did the US murder?

I guess you should have left Ghaddafi in charge.

Or better yet, maybe you shouldn't have forewarned Ghaddafi about the multiple coup attempts.

Or better yet, maybe you shouldn't have meddled in Libya and put Ghaddafi in power in the first place.

Tit-for-tat...

Right at 911 N/A should have locked up the airports like I mentioned before. They are trying to take over the world and realize distribution in members is key. Like a gang they will annihilate themselves because they MUST have a villain, it propels their beings. If two dogs are fighting in the street they will both turn on anyone who interferes. Israel leadership has failed and failed and failed to create a safe environment for the people...if they refuse to hand over leadership to a global committee then they are refusing logical alternatives toward hopeful rest. Both sides are to blame because if one side is right, just and further intelligently equipped, then why does the problem evolve to the position where gas masks are handed out. Leadership has failed, it is irrational to assist unless leadership fully concedes to a global committee for absolute power in direction. This is logical. Also Obama fits the despised model all extreme Islamic positions which hold are worthless...he has NO religion. He is a nothing. That is the exact leader of Irans opinion of Israel...therefore Obama has no full global respect and is a pointless personality where mediation and communicating objectives are in order on a full global front.

This wasn't "just another American" who was killed, though that would certainly be bad enough.

These people killed the U.S. Ambassador to Libya. Among others.

Am I the only one who finds this to be a monstrous act, worse even than the armed invasion of U.S. sovereign territory (the embassies in Egypt and Libya)? (An invasion which, as I have pointed out elsewhere, is worse in turn than an armed invasion of a U.S. coastal city.)

Any invasion of U.S. territory is, as is agreed by all civilized countries, an act of war. An invasion of a U.S. Embassy is even worse - embassies are to be held inviolate, so that even the warring powers can continue diplomatic relations in hopes of stopping the war. Without intact, functioning embassies and consulates, there can be no negotiations, no terms, and no surrender - there literally would be no channels for communication, nobody to surrender to, with no possible end to the war except the complete destruction, capture, and annihilation to the last man, of one (or both) sides.

Deliberately damaging or destroying the embassy, means that those doing the destroying have descended into barbarism, having no interest in stopping the killing, no desire to negotiate, no interest in redressing grievances, EVER. And the killing of the Ambassador, is worst of all, for obvious reasons: They are systematically breaking the chain of negotiation. And only persons higher in the chain, is SecState and the President himself.

Invading an embassy and killing the Ambassador, means that the invaders aren't making war for the usual purpose a nation makes war (collecting loot and/or forcing their victim to change national policy). The invaders are simply bent on complete, unending destruction.

To put it mildly, they should be careful what they wish for.

BTW, has either of the currently-reigning governments in Egypt or Libya, condemned these attacks and declared they would arrest, prosecute, and punish those who carried them out?

I have heard of no such statements from either government, though that could change. But has it?

This lack of any such condemnation, is even more ominous than the attacks and murders themselves.
Let's not forget what the attacks on our consulate in Benghazi, and the murder of our diplomats, really meant.
