Its "payback time" for our misbehavor. Nonsense! It''s their cultural lag behind the "enlightened" West. Responding to misperceived insults with coordinated murder and mayhem is not an appropriate response. Only a group of peoples whose moral leaders condone honor killings or death threats for misguided exercises of free speech would support this. The blogger's one dimentional view of a world split between authoritarian Capitalist states subjugating helpless Socialist ones is simplistic and wrong. They're not wronged Socialist peoples, just infantile societies having their tantrums.Howard Brooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364174239954243773.post-13655054609918873132012-09-16T06:10:40.000-07:002012-09-16T06:10:40.000-07:00Did you see the film?
