He was at a foreign embassy while on the business of his American employer.

No, he was at the embassy to get a writ of divorce from his Saudi wife so he could marry his current concubine.

That makes it the business of the US, which will have words with the country whose embassy he was in.

Well, no. It does not.

If he was just killed in a barroom brawl, unconnected to his duties at Apple, then it is no longer America’s business.

And that is partly why it is none of America's business. His being at the Saudi embassy had nothing to do with his job. It had to do with his genitals.

So why again are people having a hissy over this?

Not our citizen.

Not our country.

Not doing business for his employer.

And an avowed enemy of the US.

And why is it that I know these things why I could not give a flip about the guy and people who are wailing over him don't?

You are being emotionally manipulated and I am appealing to you to stop emoting and return to logic and reason.

In that case, screw him. But Donald seems to feel it’s his business.

On second thought, it still is the US’ business. The goons that killed him and chopped him up weren’t doing it on behalf of his jilted ex. They were following the orders of either KSA or AlQaeda or some other party, and they weren’t doing it because he was remarrying, but because the aggrieved potentate who sent the goons had a problem with what he was writing in WaPo. So this is an assassination for political purposes, carried out under the cover of a diplomatic compound. It’s a matter of deterring assassinations of journalists, and protecting foreign employees of American companies from assassination. Sorry, Teddy. But I’d love to not give a flying f@#$, but I’m afraid this is a matter of concern for the US, for first amendment, US sovereignty, making it safe for people to work for US companies to travel abroad on assignment, and other such frabajaba. That it had to be an employee of WaPo just makes it hurt more. What Trump decides to do about it is another question.
