    all i want to say is that no americans officials or staff died. this doesn't dilute the tragedy of those lives lost. it does however call for a more balanced therefore less reactionary view of the attack. america is, i would warrant,more concerned about our citizens than the hapless victims of their host country. they are likely to be considered collateral damage. if armed soley with grenade launchers and automatic weapons, as has been
    reported, the attack was under-funded and amateurish. more zeal than adequate funding seems to negate
    the "well-organized" aspect of it. the real success can be measured only in the fact that so few continue to prove that are the david to our goliath. our strength is might . their strength is willpower. the real issue at stake here is our vulnerablity to it.
    moniker attached to it. "trying to breach the heavilyl fortified walls" is just that, the operative word being "try."

    Right now their hearts & minds are with us giving them our money. Then they will just go back to fight us, let see them standup & fight for their freedom. Right now they ain't gonna standup.

    I had a chance to spend this past summer in Sana'a, Yemen doing research for my doctoral program. Even though I chose not to wear the baltu, niqab, or hijab (traditional women's dress), I felt relatively safe. However, it was obvious that everyone from the taxi driver to the qat farmer was unhappy with America's policies in the Middle East. Here's a newsflash: We are not winning the hearts and minds of anyone in the Middle East. We won't achieve that goal until we take the money we are spending on warfare and spend it to address human suffering in the region. It's in our own best interest to do so.

    I had an opportunity to spend the summer idoing graduate research n Sana'a, Yemen. While I felt relatively safe as I traveled around without a baltu, hijab or niqab (traditional women's dress), it was evident that no one-from the taxi drivers to the tour guides-liked America.
