Causes and effects

Regarding the anti-Muhammad movie reputed to be the excuse for anti-American riots in multiple countries:

When you provoke a mad dog in the middle of a bunch of people, you do, in fact, bear some responsibility for what happens to those people.

On the other hand, someone, sometime, will eventually have to do something about the mad dog.

Preferably something final.

Very true, but I'm getting a little tired of the bizarre claim that some crappy little no-budget film that no one has ever heard of are the reason these highly coordinated attacks took place. This happened on the eleventh anniversary of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, and the murder of an ambassador is an act of war.

With all due respect, I think the tail is wagging this particular mad dog.

What's more, the movie came out sometime in June or July: it's now September. Curious, how the Muslim world waited months to be "outraged."

Not only that, but it's none of their damn business if some Americans wish to say nasty things about Muhammed on American soil. And if they make it their damn business, we should make it ours to knock their rotten world down around their ears with bombs.

Let them whine about "offenses to Islam" sitting amidst rubble.
