I hope this wasn’t done by a friend of Juan.

I feel bad for the gunman.

I doubt Russia will blame a YouTube video for the death of one of its ambassadors.

How is it an assassination attempt if the Ambassador is dead?

Anything that puts the Muslim Fundamentalist in the cross hairs of a wester military power who is actually willing and able to unleash hell upon them is not a bad thing in the Macro... even if it isn’t nice in the micro.
It’s beyond time for the western world to wake up to the reality we have been engaged in WWIII for a long time, and playing nice for decades has only ensured it will be that much more devastating.
Assaad may be evil by western standards but like Quadaffi and Saddam, you cannot be a liberal western leader in these nations... you must keep the fundamentalists I check or you wind up with a failed nation.

Putin will just arrest a few Chechens and all will be good. No worries.

It would be interesting to see Putin blame the U.S. for this, in light of Obama’s threat late last week.
