I am filled with grief and horror at this terrible incident. Killing any human being for acts committed by someone else is completely unacceptable.
I completely believe in freedom of speech and the freedom of Americans to express their opinions freely on any issue. If you do not like someone's opinions or arguement, come up with a superior one. Resorting to violence in the face of an arguement is barbaric and an indication of a lack of civilization.
We are Americans and we must stand up strong for our ideals. We will not be bullied, intimidated or cowed by anybody.
Killing a high American official is an act of war and must be treated as such. If we let this slide, the consequences in future can only be left to the imagination. The Libyan leadership must produce these killers and marauders in the shortest possible time or be ready to pay a great price.
Obama must stand up strong and tell these muslims that we have freedom of speech and Americans will not be bullied by anyone!!
