Attack in Yemen

Please don't sneer when people say that President Bush has done a good job of protecting us. What happened today in Yemen is a clear example of what Al Qaeda and other, similar groups would do on U.S. soil if they could only get the chance. (And no, I disagree with the New York Times, which reported that 'militants' opened fire on the embassy. These aren't 'militants,' they are terrorists.)

By the way, when a U.S. embassy is attacked, the people most at risk are the locally hired guards. They typically act with tremendous courage, and all too often sacrifice their lives to protect our embassies. That appears to have been the case in Sanaa: no Americans were killed, but six security guards were.
