Well that would make them easy to spot.

This probably will be OUR problem and we'll have to do all the legwork/prosecution IF the person is ever even found which is unlikely.

I agree it's highly unlikely. One report said it was a run-of-mill torches & pitchforks mob, like have attacked our embassies around the world many times. But they were accompanied by a handful of very heavily armed men. I realize most everyone over there carries an AK much of the time, but this seemed to indicate most of the mob did not, but this handful carried even more.

I wonder about these people as a whole. I wonder why they are so...so...very NUTS about this stuff. Mohammad isn't Allah, for Christ's sake. He's a doooooooooood. A man. Or does he claim divinity?

He claimed to be a prophet, who set down a guide to better living... like a medieval Martha Stewart. And as I understand it, what he outlined for the followers was pretty cool. However, the movers and shakers who claimed to be leading the masses in his teachings succumbed to the same power trip that the clerics of Jesus, Buddha, Pele, etc, did.

I dunno that much about it - I do know that innocent people who are trying to fucking calm this area of the world down are getting killed.

Who would that be, certainly not the Israelis, NATO, or US... as least not since 2003. Unless you mean just Libya, but that doesn't mean much with the whole region simmering.
