Technically, legal-speak, they have invaded US territory.

No, they have not. According to the Department of State, embassies are not sovereign territories and remain the territory of the host state. However, an embassy does represent a sovereign state and as such this outrage does represent an attack on the United States according to international agreement.

And if we had a leader with cojones, we'd be having a short and one-sided conversation with the Egyptian Ambassador at this very moment.

On September 11th, Obama refuses to meet with Netanyahu, and the people Obama supported stormed the American embassy in Egypt, burned the flag, and ran up a black moslem flag.

FUBO

Point being we have every right to retaliate as what has happened is an attack, in a very legal sense, on the United States.

Also, if we had a leader with cojones, it would be pointed out to said Ambassador that this day on the calendar ought to be a particularly bad day to screw around with the United States.

Clearly it is a double headed attack on western man. Obama blows off Bibi... and is probably using the Egyptian noise to overshadow his anti western man activities.

I am sure that his muslim brethren are celebrating their leader embarrassing Bibi at the UN!

From the story:

"Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy," the U.S. embassy statement said, adding that it condemned the efforts by "misguided individuals" to hurt the feelings of Muslims.

So, our government is essentially rationalizing 4,000 screeching simian knuckledraggers breaching U.S. TERRITORY and planting a satanic symbol on it.

Have our dear friends the Egyptians scheduled the “Death to America” parades yet?

The people of Egypt have spoken, their voices have been heard, and Egypt will never be the same. … Egyptians have inspired us, and they’ve done so by putting the lie to the idea that justice is best gained through violence.

For in Egypt, it was the moral force of nonviolence — not terrorism, not mindless killing — but nonviolence, moral force that bent the arc of history toward justice once more. …

Today belongs to the people of Egypt, and the American people are moved by these scenes in Cairo and across Egypt because of who we are as a people and the kind of world that we want our children to grow up in.

“Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy,”

Not entirely.

“Legal” respect for religious beliefs, as in “freedom of religion” is “a cornerstone of American democracy”, but it does not automatically obtain social respect - one is free to disrespect another’s religion, socially, in the exercise of our own freedom of speech and religion.

If “legal” respect could command by law “social” respect, then there would not be true “freedom of speech and religion”.

But leave it to Clinton and Obama to smear “freedom of religion” to mean what it does not, and subvert it to Islamic law which bans blasphemy - something that has lost any secular commitment to it in the West over the last 200 years.
