Turmoil Spreads to U.S. Embassy in Yemen

[cletus1]

I find the anti American violence in Libya, Egypt and now Yemen disturbing, but also sad. It is getting harder to justify doing anything in these countries to help the people that want to revolt against their tyrannical dictators. Some times what fills the void after the dictators are gone is chaotic violence. I also have a hard time with the idea that the attacks on the US Embassy in Libya were not timed to occur on 9-11 to basically say screw America. I hope the find the bastards that killed the American Ambassador to Libya and the other Americans bring them to justice.


SANA, Yemen — Turmoil in the Arab world linked to an American-made video denigrating the Prophet Muhammad spread on Thursday to Yemen, where hundreds of protesters attacked the American Embassy, two days after assailants killed the American ambassador in Libya and crowds tried to overrun the embassy compound in Cairo.

News reports also spoke of a separate protest in Tehran, where around 500 Iranians chanting “Death to America” tried to converge on the Swiss Embassy, which handles United States interests in the absence of formal diplomatic relations with Washington. Hundreds of police officers held the crowds back from the diplomatic compound, witnesses said.

For a third straight day at the American Embassy in Cairo, protesters scuffled with police firing tear gas, witnesses said, and the state news agency reported that 13 people were injured. In Iraq, a militant Shiite group, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, once known for its violent attacks on Americans and other Westerners, reportedly said the video “will put all American interests in danger.” Protests were also reported at American missions in Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia, where the police also fired tear gas to disperse crowds.

In Washington, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton criticized the violent anti-American protests but she also denounced the video in forceful terms. “This video is disgusting and reprehensible,” Mrs. Clinton said in remarks at the State Department, broadcast live on CNN. She also said “The U.S. government had absolutely nothing to do with this video.”In Sana, the capital of Yemen, witnesses said government security forces tried to disperse a crowd at the fortified American Embassy compound in the eastern part of the city. But protesters succeeded in breaking through an outer perimeter protecting the embassy, clambering over a high wall and setting fire to a building.

It's Bush's fault.

Cletus it's all OUR fault. Just ask ponder.

[PonderThis]

For those of you that never find a U.S. war you're not OK with, yes.

Nice comeback:wacko: I think everyone here knows I was against Vietnam. I am against our occupation in Iraq and I also don't believe we should be in Afghanistan.

I have said as much COUNTLESS times. Nice memory, for some alcoholic who lives under a bridge. Does that bong of yours leave a permanent circle around your mouth?

[PonderThis]

I don't remember TVguy's name being mentioned specifically now, do I? Why do you always assume everything is about you?

And, it doesn't matter which wars we individually feel might be acceptable or not that matters anyway, because the U.S. government is supposedly representing all of us, and whatever wars they fight we all will pay for and take the repercussions for as well. It's not like we can individually opt out or something.

This is the beginning of the end of the American Empire. The rest of the world is tired of Uncle Sam's ''meddling'' in the affairs of others and is showing their deep frustration at the death and destruction being wrought in the felonious guise of liberation and democracy.

The film was just an excuse for the people oppressed by the US government to tell the Americans to get off their backs and go fuck themselves.

Unfortunately Empires take time to die, Rome some 300 years, British Empire about 100 and this one, due to the vast wealth of the nation that is in the hands of the very few this one will be gone a few more decades.

The next rulers of the world will most probably be the BRICK group, if there is enough left after the US plutocracy has destroyed much of America and the world through plunder and pillage.

So here is to all freedom loving men and women around the world doing whatever it takes to shake off the yoke of repression, Viva la Resistance.

The Middle East will always be a volatile part of the world community. The worst thing that happened was the discovery of oil there which perpetuates our need to 'meddle' and funds organizations like Al Quaeda, albeit indirectly.

We need to find alternate sources of energy and wean ourselves from the dependence on oil. It may not ensure the stability of the ME in the long term but we can retreat gracefully from too much involvement in their affairs. When Iraq attacked Kuwait when GHWB was president, I doubt we'd have had the Gulf War if Kuwait had been Somalia and not had any oil. The actions on the part of the US at that time is really what sparked today's antipathy by the M.E. towards us. We have to accept that these people are NOT like us, do not WANT to be like us and may not be able to handle a democracy like ours. Insulting their religion via a film does nothing to mitigate an already incendiary situation.

In a way, I hope the faces, names and addresses of those who made this POS film are published all over the internet. Let them stand by the courage of their convictions.

Many of the behind the scenes people along with the actors have come forward saying that their working script was nothing like the final cut where their dialogue was over dubbed in post production as was the basic content.

The same thing happened to the film ''Caligula'' when many ''A'' list actors, Peter O'Toole for one were horrified at the editing and resulting inserts of penthouse soft core porn. If you take that stuff out the rest of the film was pretty interesting.

[TennisMom]

Apparently the German embassy in Khartoum has been under attack as well. The violence is spreading. Why? Is there something more sinister behind this, like Al Quaeda stirring things up? I feel sorry for the non-violent Muslims in these countries who are probably hiding in fear.

[PonderThis]

The Muslim world is fed up with us, that's why.

[cletus1]

The Muslim world is fed up with us, that's why.

Yeah, but you got to admit it is not the brightest Muslims that are attacking the Embassies. If a Coptic Christian can cause this in the Muslim world with a low budget film (estimated to cost $60,000) than what hope is there for real peace? OK, I have fed my yeah but habit for now so carry on.

[tvguy]

The Muslim world is fed up with us, that's why.

Bullshit you just want to justify these radicals actions to try and prove your anti American agenda.

The Muslim world is not the problem. The problem is these throwback religious freaks who think no one has a right to question their almighty God. These are the same types who are responsible or 9-11.

Eat shit and die you miserable maggot for being on their side.

So you blame this on a fucking film?

We need to find alternate sources of energy and wean ourselves from the dependence on oil.

Everyone wants to blame all of this middle east turmoil on America on way or another. WE import a very small amount of oil from the middle east and most of that comes from Saudi Arabia.

No matter what we do Asian counties will continue to buy middle east oil and indirectly fund terrorism. The problems is not that these people are now rich. The problem is their mentality.

Show us your low level behavior, TV.

[tvguy]

Show us your low level behavior, TV.

Fuck you, how's that? You only deserve the lowest level of respect.

[cletus1]

I agree with Hillary Clinton's and Barack Obama's assessment of the situation as they explained it during the memorial service for the slain Americans. Watch it.

[PonderThis]

Show us your low level behavior, TV.

Fuck you, how that? You only deserve the lowest level of respect.

I piss on your respect anyway.

Is no one intrigued by the fact that, as PonderThis found out, a photograph of the producer of this film isn't easily found on the internet?

There is an evil, war-mongering interest that love this stuff.

Some folks, including many Zionists, are looking for a reaon to kill Arabs by the thousands.
