Big whoop.
American businesses’ employees have a right to go about their duties without being murdered.
So now we are going to extend the American blanket of protection to anyone who happens to be an employee of a registered in the US business?
Do you realize how many people that is? Are we going to go into China and investigate the murder of a factory worker because the factory is owned by Apple?
If he were in South America and kidnapped Joined up with the Sandero Luminoso, it would be the same.
Sorry. Did not cry any sad tears for Lori what's her name who joined up with a terror group in Peru and she at least was an American citizen.
I am sorry. You guys are riding a wave of hyped up emotion over someone who means nothing to you and has no demand on your loyalties.
And yes, you are emotional.
I find this kind of thing half sad and half amusing.
You are dancing around like puppets, full of concern over someone who would have danced happily on your grave after raping you to death.
He was at a foreign embassy while on the business of his American employer. That makes it the business of the US, which will have words with the country whose embassy he was in. If your hypothetical Apple employee were killed while visiting an embassy, or by a foreign spy, in order to steal industrial secrets from Apple, or prevent Apple from rolling out the newest I-Phone, then it was an assault on the interests of a US corporate citizen by a foreign country. Same thing.
If he was just killed in a barroom brawl, unconnected to his duties at Apple, then it is no longer America’s business.
