Perspective. It’s all about perspective. We have to keep our eyes on the ball, and not let the Marxist driven few dictate what Middle-Eastern policy will be.
I’m glad to see this. It’s been my take for over thirty years that the average Arab on the street would be perfectly comfortable with normalized relations with the West.
We MUST NOT deny them that access. For our own sake we must not.
I’ll bet folks would be shocked by a well balanced blind poll of West Bank and Gaza residents too.
It's been working so well so far.
How did they estimate the crowd size?
most Libyans were happy with Khaddafi, especially the things he did for women which was unheard of in the Middle East.

Happy or not, they’re up against armed thugs.
Yet another deception.
A) If evil leaders take over the government of the nation you live in, the citizenry has to get rid of leaders who will attack other nations.
B) If the leadership is not removed and attacks other nations, the other nation(s) they attacked are justified in attacking back and wreaking havoc.
C) If the citizenry is unhappy about “the consulate attack”, that does not change the fundamental idea that islam, according to it’s writings, leadership and 1400 years of history, seeks world domination in the form of conversion, dhimmitude or death for all non-muslims. I don’t hear any Libyans acknowledging the right of the nation of Israel to exist or the right of non-muslims to remain non-muslims, etc.
If muslims disagree with those fundamentals they should abandon islam, which some do. Once everyone has abandoned islam, the mosks are are all closed and it is entirely shut down, it will no longer be a threat to non-muslims.
Until then non-muslims delude themselves if they think they can “get along” and allow muslims to live in non-muslim countries. Until it ceases, non-muslim nations should deport all muslims back to muslim homelands; this will provide the only real security in non-muslim nations.
The Libyans are not our enemy. Obama is our enemy.
