PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?

well i dont want to talk bad here, but this is a senseless hype.

every death is tragic especially when childeren and violence is involved. but everybody should be treated equaly.

just one litte example. one of thousands others that could be named:
in the last iraq war were tenthousands iraq citicens killed. this war that was started by the us goverment to get the oil of the iraq. who cared for their children? who cared for their wifes? besides a us diplomat in a hot zone should have earnd enough money and have other financial backup for these kind of things. besides the us goverment should also come up with something in that case.

treat everyone equal. and see it as what it is: a cold blooded murder. if every murder victim would get that support then the world would be a better place.

Zortarg,

I think its the fact that here we have a name,a face and a long story so its easier for people to relate to.

Same way the death of someone close hurts but the deaths of millions far away is really just a number.
I dare anyone to show me who can truly mourn a million,or even just a thousand deaths genuinely.

And i agree,every murder should be treated equal, but to me i feel like these people need not have died if people in charge had taken the neccesary precautions. How can you place these civilians in what is basically still a war-torn country and not expect this to happen atleast once? Was their only plan an alternate safe house? Cause obviously that didnt work. I blame the perpetrators as much as i blame those in charge of the embassy and its workers safety.

Agreed, that is the good side of putting names and faces on people because its easy for those in charge to see numbers instead of faces,families,potential,and all the rest wich is lost.

I understand where Zortarg is coming from politically, but this guy was there as a civilian and not a soldier.
If you only want to compare numbers then yes, many countries have suffered very cruely at the will of the american armed forces. Generally though,every country wants to have embassys of their own in other countries as well as their own embassys all over the world. Including places like iran,egypt etc. Embassys are not part of an invading force,if anything a country should be worried only when embassys start pulling out. But that is a political discussion.

This man(and many others at the embassy too) was a civilian,taking a risk in what is pretty much still a war-zone and he was killed because of a movie,or possibly some other motive with the movie protest as a cover.

On an individual level this is both tragic and unneccesary. On a political level, well, that is best discussed elsewhere because this man already paid in full for any wrong any one may accuse him of,so has anyone who is now dead. My opinion.

yeah i agree with ya there
RIP Vile
