Anti- America Protests

[bajasurf]

The Big Picture label the photos as Anti-Islam Protests. That is not true. Also, photo 30 describes the person in the photo as a protestor, NO. he is a terrorist!!! A protestor does not carry a machine gun as evident by the other 29 photos.

Is it possible to have a discussion of current world affairs and US foreign policy without (1) injecting domestic politics or (2) flaming each other? Let's give this a chance. Please be respectful of each other, and keep domestic politics out of the discussion.

Protest, armed and otherwise, doesn't equate with terrorism. Even killing people during a protest doesn't qualify as terrorism, in my view. The "t" word shouldn't be applied to every violent act that expresses an opinion you don't agree with.

They are so passionate about their Faith and religion, you can accurately predict how they will react when provoked....
Knowing this, you could then most certainly "direct" that anger "somewhere"....
There is more to the story than what is heard/seen on the MSM.

I will never understand the world as a whole. Just plain disappointed, but in the end all I can do is live my life. If more people traveled the world instead of their own backyard, maybe, just maybe things would be a tad bit better.

The State Department today announced that the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi(photo 30) was a Terrorist attack planned by Al Queda.

The word terrorism is used where the word pacification should be used. Is there really an embassy in Benghazi, I though it was in Tripoli, or?

Current US foreign policy aka; pacification is a direct result of US domestic legislation, executive orders and IMHO mostly bad decisions by fools in high places in DC. For the record domestic politics has nothing to do with any of it!

You are correct. The U.S. Consulate is in Benghazi and the embassy in Tripoli. Would you please explain using pacification instead of terrorism? My question is; How does the murder of a United States ambassador and 2 navy seals and one other not terrorism but pacification?

Not knowing all the facts I can only guess the first reports were closest to correct before spin-masters inject propaganda to sway opinion."

You question refers to what you call a murder which you then claim is terrorism IMHO it can't be both nor can it be either "for its an in kind response of killing who they perceive as the enemy"!

Pacification in military terms is the use of force including deadly to bring those targeted into submission of what is claimed to be peace and lately under the guise of some humanitarian effort. The resulting response from those who are targeted for pacification is to counter with their version of pacification "killing the enemy". It would be foolish to assume that any given enemy will not respond in kind to pacification efforts.

I don't live under a rock nor did I fall from a turnip truck; IMHO the over use of the term(s) murder/terrorism are a result of the propaganda machine creating a thought pattern that is not healthy and surely lacking in common sense.

The following observation has absolutely nothing ose to do with politics; IMHO recent/current legislative acts/efforts allowing for large segments of our own society not joining in lockstep nationalism to be labeled as terrorists or potential terrorist threats to the US according to the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY and targeted for domestic pacification.

I suspect some herein will not like this especially those who were/are in the system but more insight into what is really going on and the resulting response from those opposed to global dominance, search "global dominance group" on the web.

I'm sorry but I did not protest when they made movies killing ammericans and burning bibles and I should have. These are uneducated brainwashed and simple minded people that we need to pull out all support of and let them work on each other.

This is EXPO and this is a forum for photography/video. I found fault with the caption of a photo(#30) and my mistake. We have gone far enough and time to move on. If not, i will delete my posting. We are entitled to our opinions and this is becoming to political. Back to cameras and photos. By the way. lots of new goodies coming soon.

IMHO, Too many Americans confuse legislative acts and the resulting effect with so-called political acts.

I couldn't agree more.

I find it ironic, they protest the US, they say they hate us because of our involvement in the middle east.. yet they have no problem what so ever taking billions in aid.
