Storming US embassies the new thing to do...

[doddisalegend]

I see the US embassy in Yemen has been attacked only days after the one in Libya was stormed.

I believe the one in Egypt was also attacked. What I don't get is why are these people holding the whole US responsible for a film made by one US citizen? How does killing the US ambassador to Libya help their cuase?

Its not only US embassies though, is it ? One of ours got done over a while back too.

 

For me, it says a lot about the country in which it happens. The police and security forces there are suppose to defend and protect embassies, yet they stand back and let it happen.

 

I understand the US ambassador thing. It is striking against the smybol of the US within that country. What I dont like is trashing graves in cemeteries from wars that have nothing to do with current affairs.
