Italian embassy set on fire in Libya, 10 killed

Libyans protesting the Prophet Muhammad cartoons set fire to the Italian consulate in Benghazi on Friday in a riot that killed at least 10 people, an Italian diplomat said.

Libyan security officials said 11 people were killed or wounded during the six-hour riot when police firing bullets and tear gas tried to contain more than 1,000 demonstrators hurling rocks and bottles. The casualties included police officers, but the officials declined to say how many people had died.

Italian diplomat Domenico Bellantone said between 10 and 11 people had died, and all were Libyan _ either police or protesters. He spoke after the Libyan interior minister had briefed the Italian ambassador to Tripoli on the riot.

Amendment II

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

The solution seems obvious to me!

"...it is how a country without an army can wage war....

But this is an "army" without a country. They have nothing to lose. They have no country to call their own so it makes it easier to roam the planet causing misery, death , and destruction. They lose a lot of "soldiers" in the process, ain't no thing. It doesn't mean what it means to those who are fighting those bast@#ds. This is a battle the likes the world has never seen. The Iraq war is the opening salvo in what will prove to be a lengthy and costly war. We MUST destroy them. They are hell-bent on destroying the infidel. Just keep taking them out until there is none of them left to take out. WE MUST NOT LOSE THIS BATTLE!!!!!

As long as it is only their own that are ending up dead, it can keep up forever, for all I care.

It's their cars; their real estate, their citizen-franchisees, their businesses. Might even be leased furniture in the leased embassy buildings. That just leaves the computers, papers, and other records.

It is interesting to watch how particular groups are aligning themselves here. Not surprising to anyone paying attention; they were never that much different.

10.5 people? 10.75 people? How do fractional people die?

Letting them kill each other off could work if they didn't breed so fast.

"We killed the Patriot Act!"--Harry Reid (who has since voted for it after he voted against it)

People say I'm too optimistic, but the Dems are heading toward destruction when the average American sees THIS stuff on TV every night.

What do you bet there are democrat strategists watching this and wondering how they can blame this reaction to the cartoons on Bush?

"Is it ever going to stop?"

It is only going to stop if we Christian, as a collective, take matters into our own hands and deal with the enemy intent on the destruction of our Christians societies. There is an anti-Christ and it is the non-Christian.

Students in Danish public schools are forbidden from eating pork,

Not any more, at least in Copenhagen schools.

Pork will now be served, and those who don't want it don't have to eat it.

They decided that was NOT properly secular, nor multicultural; it ruled that it was violating the rights of pork eaters!

Wish I still had the link, but it was within the last week or so.

Right from the start I've believed this to be a demonstration, if you will, of how the enemy can amass an "army" on the fly.

Just like the Paris riots. This was the next step.

Muslims, in their calm, coolly rational way, respond to Danish cartoons that offend them by burning down the Italian Embassy.

Even their violence lacks logic.

Not to mention the tiny fact that the Italian people have a little Social Club called the Mafia . . .

This might get interesting.

It's about time this bullshit comes to a screeching halt. These worthless Muslims are very much like our Liberals.... Without double standards, they wouldn't have any

The premier's party had t-shirts printed with the cartoons.

Oh Yea! Maybe they finally picked on the wrong ones and finally met their match. I still think they're testing the waters to see what they can get away with but I doubt it will be with the Italians. These are the same people whose hostage said, "Now you will see how and Italian dies." Whoa, what defiance.
