US Apologizes After Embassy Attacks
It defies common sense, patriotism and respect for the dead.
Yesterday Muslim extremists in the Middle East celebrated the eleventh anniversary of 9-1-1 by attacking two US embassies and killing four people, including an ambassador.
The immediate American response was to apologize to the attackers.
The demonstrators at Cairo were supposedly out of control because an Israeli filmmaker was producing a movie in California ridiculing Mohammed; you know the sixth century Mid-East religious leader who declared Holy War on the Infidels, which he understood to be Christians, Jews and other groups he disagreed with.
To sum up the violence yesterday, the Cairo demonstrators breached the walls of the embassy, burned the American flag and replaced it with one like al Qaeda uses. It was even worse in Libya, where four Americans were killed, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Now here’s how the US Embassy in Cairo responded:
“We condemn the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.”
Later in the day Obama responded:
“I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.”
Whatever happened to the liberal respect for freedom of expression? You’ve heard the old saying:
“I disagree with your opinion, but will defend with my life your right to express it.”
But that’s no longer politically correct.
By offering such a weak response, especially initial response, to yesterday’s attacks, the US has in effect become a co-dependent. That’s the term psychologists use for a battered wife who refuses to press charges against her violent husband.
Who does Barack Hussein Obama and his administration really represent?
