While the Libyan ambassador's death was a very sad statement on the state of United States/Arab cooperation, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that Mitt Romney took the low road and may have made it worse. It was an anti-Muslim movie that inflamed passion which led to the death of the ambassador and two other, and Secretary of State properly asked why someone in a city which the U.S. helped insure wasn't annihilated in a country which the U.S. helped free from a despot would take action against our ambassador. And President Obama said that while we as a country must reject anything that denigrates any religion, there is no justification for the killings, and he will take action to find the killers. But while the administration's reactions were even-tempered and pragmatic, Mitt Romney took the occasion the attack the President. He stated that these uprisings against Americans was the fault of President Obama, and that the president was appeasing the Arabs and he would never apologize for American values.
It was bad enough that you attacked the president, Mr. Romney. But are you now saying that denigrating Islam is an American value? Do you really believe this? If so, not only are you not qualified to be president, you aren't qualified for any office in this country. And if you don't believe it, you decided that politics trumps diplomacy, and for that, you shouldn't be elected president. Either way, this shows how contemptible you are, and those that agree with you, too.
