i watched parts of that movie last night. it is, with out a doubt, one of the stupidest things i've ever seen (i skipped the icky part). if this is the catalyst for these protests that says a lot about the nature and maturity of our enemy.

Is it just me or does it seem bizarre that everyone seems to be talking about some movie and the fact that 2 embassies are attacked on the same day as the 9/11 attacks is presented as if it were just a weird coincidence.

And, of course, it may be a coincidence.

I think I'd prefer if the narrative were less about their claimed reason that "provoked" their behavior and more about their totalitarian behavior.

Replicating Tehran, 1979 on the anniversary of 9-11.

Yeah. Coincidence.

Time to "get some respect", as the bent-nose boys would say.

It wasn't a coincidence. It was just a convenient excuse.

But hey, let's keep giving the Religionists of Peace billions in foreign and military aid!

It was no coincidence. And it was not over some movie.

The stupid radical Muslims (is that redundant or an oxymoron) just acted as PR for the that movie. I wonder how many views they got?
