EDGEWATER -- I don’t understand why we allow Americans to be employed in embassies in volatile countries without better protection. ABC News with Diane Sawyer recently showed diagrams of the compound where we lost four American lives and how poorly they were protected.
Even the so called safe house which was far behind the outside walls was broken and burned. They didn’t have a place to go until help could arrive.
While I understand we can’t look like we are afraid and put up barbed wired and non-scalable walls we surely can manage a better way than we are now. Let the outside show as if we are welcoming anyone but behind that have safe rooms with impenetrable walls and guarded by our troops.
People in dangerous tornado areas of this country have safe rooms and storm shelters. Our embassy people deserve this protection whenever they are out of our country even in friendly countries. The way of the world these days feelings change on a dime: Friendly today and attacking us the next.

We have an obligation to protect our own pn whatever soil there are on. This country was reliving 9/11 and so we were attacked in a foreign country just to prove to us that Americans are not safe anywhere anymore.
How sad to fall from grace like this.
We used to be the country looked to for help whatever the situation. Now so many of those hands we helped are biting the hand that fed them many times in the past. If that isn’t bad enough many of those places still have their hands out and expect us to do more. What a mixed up world we live in these days.
Pray for those lost and their families and friends. And pray for no more needless violence.
