This is an idiotic thread. The guy lived for half his life in North Africa or the mid-east and he died serving his nation. Who gives a shit about what someone thinks about what he does or does not do in private? It is totally irrelevant.

Clueless...The point is not about this man's private life it is about the stupidity of not sending this man to Europe instead of an islamic country. The point is the state department is so clueless about islam in general that they thought sending this man would be peachy.

These people are supposed to be the best at dealing with foreign cultures and they are the ones who put this guys up to be killed in this way because they are too stupid to learn who they are dealing with. They would rather believe their fake propaganda about the religion instead of picking up a koran or the surahs and reading.

You don’t have a clue. Read this man’s bio. Virtually all his professional career has been spent in the middle east. He was an expert on the region:

“Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens was a career member of the Senior Foreign Service. He arrived in Tripoli in May 2012 as U.S. Ambassador to Libya. Ambassador Stevens served twice previously in Libya. He served as Special Representative to the Libyan Transitional National Council from March 2011 to November 2011 during the Libyan revolution and as the Deputy Chief of Mission from 2007 to 2009.

Other overseas assignments include: Deputy Principal officer and Political Section Chief in Jerusalem; political officer in Damascus; consular/political officer in Cairo; and consular/economic officer in Riyadh. In Washington, Ambassador Stevens served as Director of the Office of Multilateral Nuclear and Security Affairs; Pearson Fellow with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; special assistant to the Under Secretary for Political Affairs; Iran desk officer; and staff assistant in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.

Prior to joining the Foreign Service in 1991, Ambassador Stevens was an international trade lawyer in Washington, DC. From 1983 to 1985 he taught English as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco.”
