Yet another US embassy attacked, and we will get the usual cadre of posters defending the Obama/Hillary tenure. If one travels abroad--then this much is clear = the view of America has never been lower in the world's eyes. You can believe "poll data," or you can believe you eyes/ears. Our embassies/consulates arent targets because we are loved....

Goferfanz...as if embassies weren't targets before. You pretend this is something new because it meets your political agenda. I travel abroad multiple times per year and must tell you how wrong you are. Foreigners hated George Bush because he trampled on other countries, started needless wars and didn't solve the real problems. Conservatives have lost their credibility on foreign policy when no WMDs were foun in Iraq. You lost your credibility on polling when You claimed the polls were wrong about Mitt...and yet they were 100% correct.

goferfanz: I have traveled extensively and I would argue that Americans are liked, that includes Turkey. American policy, however is the issue. Examine our behavior in this region for the past 70 years and see if you can identify why this is the case.
