(AP) WASHINGTON - U.S. embassies in at least seven countries in the Middle East, Africa and the Caucasus are warning of possible anti-American protests following the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
The embassies in Armenia, Burundi, Kuwait, Sudan, Tunisia and Zambia, along with the embassy in Egypt, which was hit by a protest on Tuesday, all issued warnings on Wednesday advising Americans to be particularly vigilant.

to have the critical mmass they need to make the same trouble in America that they make in their home countries.
Armenia gets over $1 billion; Burundi gets $395 million; Kuwait gets $180 million. Yes, we remember oil rich Kuwait that we gave American troops, American blood and American dollars to free their Azzes from Sadam in Desert Storm. Sudan receives $132 million; Tunisia $200 million; Zambia $330 million; Libya $53.5 million plus we sent dollars and military aid to rid them of Khadafy. Egypt gets $1.7 billion plus aid to help rid them of Mubarak.
The common theme is we give, give, give and still they do not like us. They justify this behavior because of a movie producer that is free to express his belief living in a country that's has freedom. Many of these same radicals just fought and died to gain freedoms in their countries suppressed for years by dictators but they don't like our freedoms.
I would rather our country spend this $4 billion (taxpayer money) per year on our own people and infrastructure. I will gladly vote for any politician that believes this to.
And by the way, for those who care... there actually was no protest or anything that took place in Armenia.
Turn over the Mossad punk to the Muslims.
The movie, "Innocence of Muslims," was produced by Sam Bacile, a 56-year-old California real estate developer who has said he's both Israeli and American. The film depicts Muhammad as a fraud, womanizer and madman.

a madman?
just like these followers?
imagine that!
your user name contains a bit of irony as well. We still have free speech in this country. What everyone on the planet needs is freedom from religion....all religions. There wont be any peace on the planet until that condition (and maybe a few others) are met.
