Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other members of the U.S. diplomatic mission were killed in Benghazi, Libya, yesterday. The news reports credit the attack by a group protesting a movie that depicts the prophet Muhammad. I think it is not a coincidence that the attack came on September 11.
Now the politics have begun to fly. But, what will the end result be?
In case you haven’t heard, there are real people in the real world that really hate Americans. Don’t be naive. Don’t pretend surprise when something similar happens again.
All the nannies with warm fuzzy feelings will not change the world. It is a cold cruel place.
Although we contribute billions of dollars and work to promote peace in the very countries that kill us, people continue to hate Americans. Remember that and behave accordingly.
Just some grumpy old man advice.
