The US Congress is about to debate an aid package for Libya and Egypt. Our Embassies were attacked and in Libya they killed 4 Americans. Should congress send a message by voting down the money or at the very least not holding a vote on the aid? If we give them the aid now the message is clear we will pay you no matter what you do to us.
Earlier the people who attacked the Israelis mission were given suspended sentences. The message is clear you can attack Embassies at will and get a slap on the wrist. We need to send a strong message that such behavior is not acceptable.

They'd better vote it down and not send them another penny. If they dont'...of course that will be a sure sign to all terrorists that they can attack USA and nothing will happen to them...another 9/11 will be on the way. If you don't make the doers of bad conducct pay for their bad conduct...why should they stop? Why would they? They should not send another penny over there...and stop any other "aid" that is going over there until those that did this are arrested and the hoards that are there causing more trouble stop. Obama wont' do anything tho...he has talk shows to attend to.

Until the Libyan government ousts al Qaeda from their midst, no aid. NONE
Until Obama can figure out if Egypt is friend or foe, no aid, NONE.
if we don't toughen up, we're toast. The Muslim Brotherhood is very secure in their positions of power right HERE in the current administration. And after another 9/11 perpetrated ON AMERICA by al Qaeda, I don't think loyal Americans will tolerate more aid to our enemies or those who shield them.

You are so right! And apologizing for the supposed offense of this movie released in june/july? must have the extremists laughing and clapping for joy and thinking "why, sharia law won't be so hard to impose upon the west after all!" Well, at least then the extreme left can get rid of having to 'listen to' (as if they ever do!) us evil conservatives.

I don't know so much about the Egyptian situation, but the attack in Libya seems to have been carried out by a group that's opposed to the current government. So cutting off aid would be playing into their hands. The last I heard, the US government was supposed to be sending some special forces types over to help the Libyan government sort these goons out - that seems to me to be a much more rational response than punishing Group A for the actions of Group B.

The attacks in Libya were by al Qaeda. Our president was caught way off guard. And like Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq...those that harbor terrorists should be cut off from aid in any form. When they can PROVE they are doing what needs to be done, then maybe we can send humanitarian aid, not military.
Until the world recognizes that Islamists mean to rule the world, the world will continue to appease and cooperate with these animals.

...amen, barbarians.. I was never so shocked as to hear of the unmentionable things done to our ambassador! (I'll say it, sodomized, for those who haven't heard as I'm not sure our erstwhile protective press will report it.) And I thought supposedly these radicals consider themselves so holy!!? And the rest of us infidels?! "Animals" is a very good description, although that is rather insulting to animals.
