What I am questioning is what responsibility does he have for his actions? When people die as a possible result of your actions is there any responsibility? Blaming people who we cannot hold responsible does nothing.
I am glad you clarified. I now understand your point, but have no easy answer. What "court" would have jurisdiction to hold him responsible? No harm was done within the US; Libyan Courts, or Egyptian Courts have no authority here. he falls in the cracks--unless the Muslims put out a faquah (sp?) and execute him on US soil.

I assume your backing of the neo-nazis was a principled stand for their freedom of speech and lawful assembly--not because you actually supported the cause.
