Young demonstrators shouting "we redeem, Messenger of God" smashed windows of the security offices outside the embassy with stones and burned cars before breaking through the main gate of the heavily fortified compound in eastern Sanaa. Others held aloft banners declaring 'Allah is Greatest'.

"We can see a fire inside the compound and security forces are firing in the air.

Yes how dare these persants protest against US war crimes and the theft of their natural resources to US corporatism

Its totally unacceptable and appauling behaviour

The USA needs to increase its defense spending and the number of military bases all over the world

Currently the USa spends more on its defense than the rest of the world combined

THe USA also has 1000+ military installations and bases in over 140 countries around the world.

I just dont get it ladies and gentlemen - why are all these slaves missbehaving? Dont they understanding who calls the shots in this fascist corporate world?

Well, the US has been bombing Yemen for some time now. I'd hardly expect them to be throwing the US a ticker-tape parade.

Why hasnt the USA been bombing Saudi Arabia or Bahrain?

Each bomb is just another tax dollar in the pocket of the corporate giants - who are just loving these wars arent they

Except that's now what they're protesting about.

They're losing their toys over a film that embassy staff and the government of the United States had nothing to do with.

It's unacceptable and if I were in charge I'd begin evacuating first of all non-essential personal from all embassies and missions across the middle east and then all essential staff at Embassies and missions across the middle east in nations where the governments cannot give reasonable assurance that their embassies will be protected.

It is one of the fundamental principles that almost 100% of nations agree upon.

That embassies are not fair game for ANY REASON.

Now... Unlike some people who are going to turn this whole thing in Libya, Egypt and Yemen into a pissing match about how violent muslims are, that too is bull**** and should not even come into the conversation.

Of course it's unacceptable, but it is explicable, and it has very little to do with a YouTube movie. That is being used by both sides as a smokescreen for opposition to US influence and actions in the region.

Agree that the killings are unacceptable and criminal.

Just like the 1.42 million Iraqi civilian deaths since the USA invaded in 2003.

Are civilians fair game or is it just embassies that concern the direction of your moral compass?

Did you forget Tunisia and Morroco. You do know they are protesting at our Embassies there as well. Just which Muslims are you directing others to look at.....that are non-violent?

At the end of the day I agree to a point.

The problem that you have on the ground is, some old fella with alot of influence over young folks is using this youtube video to send poor, uneducated (in the case of libya, armed) young men into a frenzy.

What alot of right wingers keep failing to understand about attacks like this, 9/11 and various other terrorist actions is that regardless of the method in which young men were convinced to carry them out... it's goals are purely political.
 
Things are spiraling out of the non-existent control that Obama exerts in that area of the world.

Time for a President who is smart and capable.

Hey man I agree, but what I will not agree that two wrongs make a right.

This is a conversation about embassy safety in general.

If one embassy attack is condoned, no embassy is safe and international diplomacy would break down.

The sanctity of embassy protection is a universal principle that I will not ever support breaking under any circumstances... even as much as I hate say the North Korean regime, I will never support their embassy being attacked in any nation around the world.

If you want to turn this into a pissing match about muslims being violent, go ahead.

But reality does not support that assertion.

Did you mean the Leadership of Sunni Clerics? You know those Old Guys that barely have any education and was told verbatim What they should believe and how they they go about things.

Quite. That's how demagoguery works, the rich and/or powerful always send someone else to die for their cause, and it's usually the young, poor and alienated.

Exactly. These groups are those who do not buy into what they see as western ideas of the rule of law and the democratic process. They want power and are willing to use whatever methods work to get it.

Oh no.....I was waiting for you to show me all thes Peaceful Loving Muslims. Got any groups in mind. What countries do these peaceful Muslim walk around preaching about Peace and talking about how they are not tied to the rest of the Muslims throughout the World.

Provide 3 main examples that support your view of what the Russians are like!

Surely youre not caliming that the Russians are invading other nations, stealing their resources on behalf of their corporations and using drones to carry out summary illegal executions? (I wonder who does that in the world?)

Of course Embassies should be afforded a level of protection - but so should the Red Cross!

Is seems to me, that the problem is with US embassies - now why would this be the case?

Why, for example arent Swedish or Korean embassies targeted?

(and incidentally, North Korea may have some border issues with South Korea, but it isnt carrying out assassinations, drone attacks, full scale aerial bombings and land invasions of other nations that didnt attack them, and then theiving their energy resources on behalf of their corporate masters - now is it? So perhaps your example of North Korea is a poor one - and why would you HATE an entire nation? What has North Korea done to you - let alone to the USA?)

I've been at DP for many years, and I have no interest in having this conversation with you.

You're convinced that people by the very virtue of their religion are violent and nothing is going to change that for you, you've made up your mind and in my experience nothing I can say is going to make you think otherwise.

These folks that carried out these actions don't represent all Islam, just like abortion clinic bombers or the Westboro Baptist Church don't represent Christians etc...

You can take this as a sign of weakness, but arguing with you about this subject is like talking to a dining room table, I have no interest in it.

Did you need the 3 examples of Ethnic Cleanising by the Russians or is it you are not familiar with history and what the Russians have done?

Well first.....wouldnt the Educated have to tell and teach the Uneducated. Just exactly what a resource is in their country. I mean if it wasn't for others explaining what resources are. Do you think the ignorant, uneducated, and deluded would even ever figure it out? How many more hundreds or thousands of years do you think it would take those that have to be told how to breathe and walk. To figure things out?

I assume that you are referring to the Bolshevics - are you aware of who the Bolshevics were and who they targeted in Russia?

Perhaps you are referring to some other ethnic cleansing as depicted by the University of Hollywood?

I see.....so basically you think that all should just consider what you are saying and thats that.....huh. Show me anywhere where I have stated that all Muslims are violent. Got a link to my words on this issue.

Myself I have started 3 other sites.....so time on just one site means what? I mean on two of them my posts count. Would quadruple yours. So when the majority of a Country is protesting, do you think those that you are speaking about.....are leading the way in trying to maintain order and common decency and respect? Do you think they are Preaching the Word of Allah, out in these Protests?
