"The cultural, social, and media terrain presented to those in power can only be negotiated by seriously considered diplomacy."

and we all know how successful seriously considered diplomacy has worked so far.....

Robots can keep cool heads. I maintain that there is a closet Democrat sabotaging Rmoney's campaign, or someone so deadly brilliant at manipulating voter sentiment positioning Rmoney's foreign policy statements so the American ignorant xenophobes can bond to him.

The turd in the punchbowl, however, is that Arab religious zealots are driven to kill over something as trivial as comic strips and shitty internet movies. Until they can severely moderate their responses, I have great difficulty having an "adult discussion" about social and cultural change with them.

I wonder if the Romney campaign got caught in a 1980 dream of Jimmy Carter and American hostages.

@6 "Arab religious zealots" are small factions. Just like Christian religious zealots are here. You know them. They shoot up Sikh temples. Or make inflammatory bigoted films. How's that for adult?

@9
Exactly.
Terry Jones wants some more sweet, sweet publicity so he makes a stupid film INTENDED to piss off the radical factions.
Part of being the POTUS is handling issues such as this WITHOUT making them worse.
Romney is trying to make the situation worse in the hopes that Obama will lose political points.
Romney is playing to his base.
Romney is NOT handling the situation as the POTUS should.

It is important to note that the film which began this clusterfuck was produced, directed and financed by Israeli Jews.

@8, 9, 10, et al

Ok, I should have included all religious zealots then.

I also think that in our country the greater threat is posed by our own homegrown zealots. But in this case it was indeed Arab religious zealots that killed diplomats.

That's why I feel that religion in general is the greatest threat to mankind. It is the root of some of the worst things that are happening in our world today, and is often used as justification by many, including Israel, Iran, fundamentalists in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and here at home from the "Christian" white supremacist groups, for hurting others in the name of their invisible man in the sky.

However, I do have to still defend the rights of people to freely voice their opinions, not violent actions, even if they are bigoted and uninformed, so as to protect my own rights for free speech. I believe that is a basic human right, though not legally enforceable by our will in countries where it is not legal, hence the diplomatic efforts in new democracies like Libya where we can hopefully help the development of such rights for their people.

The Atlantic is looking into this "Sam Bacile" person: http://www.theatlantic.com/international…

@16
That shouldn't be very difficult.
The actors should be easy to identify.
I'm expecting to see them or their friends on the talk show circuit any day now.
Once the actors are identified it should be easy to find the people behind it.

@1: The more people talk about Romney, the worse he looks. Notice how he seems to be allergic to giving any sort of details on, well, anything?

Please wait...
