Pointing that out is not defending or "sympathizing" with the actions of the protesters. Of course it's not OK to kill. Yes, the killers are ultimately responsible for killing, not the person who made the movie hoping to provoke that killing.
But there's one thing I don't understand about Mitt Romney's comments in the wake of the protests in Egypt. When he said that the embassy's statement wasn't "defending America's values", was he implying that we need to be defending the moron who made this movie...during the protests he caused? That's what our diplomats should have done?
Defending this creep's right to free speech (the only possible "American value" Romney could be talking about) from inside an embassy that is in danger of being attacked only because this "fire-in-a-crowded-theater-screamer" intentionally wanted to incite riots, makes no sense at all. No sane person would do that.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that one.
