Tunisian government has certainly picked a side in this embassy-attack issue
« on: October 04, 2012, 10:51:33 PM »
By seeking the death penalty for people who attacked Americans.

Quote
Several thousand demonstrators stormed the U.S. Embassy compound, tore down the American flag and looted and burned buildings. Police responded with gunshots and tear gas. Four demonstrators died and scores of people were injured, including security forces.

Tunisia's governing moderate Islamist party condemned the attacks on the U.S. sites.

I think "shooting the terrorists dead and then hanging their accomplices" certainly counts as taking a stand.

Unfortunately for the Tunisians, they picked the wrong side, because the Obama Administration picked the other.

Why should we consider giving $$$ to people who are making overtures of friendship, when we have so many hostile/enemy countries that we can reward?

True.
We have mobile stealth embassies that can drop payloads of diplomacy anywhere at any time.

No. Embassies are nests from which our spies operate.
