right, im not advocating letting guilty parties run amok, but step one is to identify how this happened, and using our heads, not emotional invective, act accordingly.
Thats the difference between mob rule and intelligent response.
Mob rule is whats been demonstrated here, people reacting on pure emotion and hate built up by media and idiocy. We need to defend our compounds and act with intelligence.
I think avoiding escalation and letting the truth of the matter sink in is probably a wise move initially, thats probably why Egyptians attacking our flag weren't shot. In Libya specifically, the mob just killed a pro Libya and incredibly useful to them diplomatic representative of a powerful foreign power who was helping them get set up.
