Regardless of whether the embassy was trying to "head off attacks", it is not the responsibility of the Federal government to apologize for the non-criminal acts of private citizens. A more appropriate response would be to ensure that security was stepped up, period.

Your response is so clearly self-serving (though for once, to the point) that I find it laughable. The Left supports dictators to avoid anti-American mobs? Like Hell it does. The Center of the Democratic party (Hillary, for example) may be loathe to see dictators toppled for security reasons, but the LEFT supports them out of a knee-jerk anti-Americanism, as I pointed out in my earlier post. Kucinich was aiming at the US and at NATO as "criminals", McKinney was supporting an anti-colonialist (read: anti-American) crusade. I didn't ask a question. I asked a rhetorical question for which the answer was clear. The Left supports dictators to score points against the US government, which it sees as the greatest evil on earth, no matter what party is in power.

Also, if you will refer to my post, I was asking whether Egypt had apologized for their mob, or taken any actions to find the people responsible for its attack on the embassy.

Finally, don't act indignant that this issue has become political, given that you've politicized virtually anything and everything that you can, and this sort of thing is politicized in any campaign year and you know it.
