    Also in no way an apology.

    It's time to cue up Morris Alpert:

    Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
    Trying to forget my feelings of love.
    Teardrops rolling down on my face,
    Trying to forget my feelings of love.

    Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
    I wish I've never met you, girl;
    You'll Never Come Again.

    Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
    Wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.

    Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
    And feelings like i've never have you
    Again in my heart.

    Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
    I wish I've never met you, girl;
    You'll never come again.

    Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
    And feelings like i've never have you
    Again in my life.

    Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
    Wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.

    Fair cuts.

    As a matter of diplomacy, in what way is it wrong to defuse a situation before it becomes deadly?

    Exactly. It's like we're justifying the anger, just not how it was expressed.

    It's all BS anyway. Hillary has certainly never seen this movie, and before yesterday, I'm sure she hadn't even heard of it.

    For hours yesterday, it was unclear what movie was even being protested.

    This is a fake controversy, stirred up by the Muslim Brotherhood, and some Imams, over a film no one has heard of or seen.

    How does Hillary even know it denigrates anyone?

    Now we know why the Libyan Ambassador didn't issue an apology.

    To summarize so far, on the anniversary of 9/11 our embassy in Cairo issues an apology to Muslims for an independent film that hurt their feelings.

    Not an apology.

    The rocket attack was in Libya not Cairo.

    When you say 'cowards,' YGBFKM, are you including the ambassador who was killed? Or are you posting about something else?

    You've got to love Reuters:

    It was an afterthought.

    I hope Obama's silence means he is busy trying to figure out how the international community wants to proceed.

    I'm including the people who are more worried about making bad people angry than addressing hate and violence.

    Well he was trying to run away...

    Az if not apology what's the right word? Condemnation? Rebuke? Give us some guidline.

    Az is searching for more context.
