No Americans were killed in the attack (I'm surprised this wasn't posted here earlier).

It will happen more and more so get used to it. Kinda why it's not real news I guess.

Right up until sometime in the beginning of November.

Sarah Palin didn't swoop down from a helicopter and disarm a terrorist with common sense and home cooking, so nobody gives a shit where Yemen is, much less what happened there. I'm willing to bet the majority of Americans don't even know what our foreign embassies do, and a good third of them don't know they exist at all.

Y'all might need to broaden your news networks. I saw this on CNN, Yahoo, and it was on NPR on the drive home from work. It did get press - I suspect the lack of reaction largely stems from people not knowing how to react to it. Me, I was thinking of sending the Bush administration a sarcastic thank you note.

I think it was mentioned everywhere, but instantly lost in the financial turmoil news.

I believe our President was in Panama yesterday giving a speech on the strength of the panamanian economy...that is 100% true.

They sure do...you can see them in the picture! You also realize that it being in Utah means Fandros is a muslim.

I know a little bit about embassies but only b/c my brother's wife works for the French Consulate in Atlanta. I would assume what she does is very similar to what our embassies do. Which, is frankly quite interesting.

Second brown building from the right edge, fourth floor, third window from left, isn't that Fandros flashing his fanny? :cool:
